Extended life plus

Hello again! I made a version of ExtendedLife where the extra states can be created and destroyed. Here it is:

Code: Select all

Incidentally, in this rule, a single state 2 cell is a 3000+ generation methuselah. However, so far this rule does not seem to be exploding.

I can see you've made quite an effort to avoid the "classic" ExtendedLife methuselahs, such as the ones below.

Code: Select all

x = 2, y = 1, rule = ExtendedLife+
BE!

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 2, rule = ExtendedLife+
B$3.E!
In ExtendedLife, the former has a lifespan of about 19.5 million generations. The latter has a lifespan > 10^8 generations.
Your rule replaces those with symmetric 2-cell exploders such as the one below, which mostly have a dynamic of growth around the edges of the pattern, with the center of the pattern filled mostly with state 1 junk, lone state 3 cells, and state 6 cells.

Code: Select all

x = 1, y = 5, rule = ExtendedLife+
E4$B!

I take back that last remark. After watching some patterns quite easily evolving through 30,000 generations, I now believe that this rule is probably exploding in character, but still right on the edge.

It stabilizes at around half a million gen with a p8 osc in the center.

What is "pulse divider"?

Where did that phrase appear? It doesn't seem to be anywhere else in this thread. A pulse divider is a piece of circuitry that produces one output signal for every two input signals that it accepts. It can be used as an x2 period multiplier, but in general a pulse divider doesn't require period-N input -- the timing might be more irregular. (A period multiplier accepts period-N input and produces period-kN output, pretty much by definition.)

Here's an old and somewhat out-of-date reference to B3/S23 pulse dividers. Nowadays we have Guam's semi-Snark and various other P1 mechanisms available. No doubt there are ways to build similar mechanisms in these Extended Life rules.
