Resistor in WireWorld

[Rhombic]

This resistor in WireWorld CA only lets one of each two electrons that are created constantly to pass.
For the next code:
First group: without resistor, electrons constantly created.
Second group: with resistor, half of the previous electrons are removed.
Third group: the resistor itself.

Code: Select all

x = 73, y = 29, rule = WireWorld

One problem with the 'resistor': sending only one electron causes it to turn into a period 4 signal generator which is definetly not what a resistor should do.

[Rhombic]

Now... that's true. has anyone tried to create an actual resistor? Is it even possible in WW?

It is actually p3, isn't it?
