Can somebody write a ruletable for immigration, that is, a three-state version of life where dead cells take the majority of their live neighbors when being born? (again, sorry to create a new topic for this)

Some Lifeline discussion:

The Snark preserves the "checkerboard colour" of the reflected glider (which is a well-defined property in plain Life: colour of a glider). The Snark also preserves the visible "Immigration colour" of the reflected glider (i.e. the state of alive cells in the glider). However, the "allied form" of the glider is converted into a non-allied glider. The bait block always takes the same "Immigration colour" as the last output glider (so the Snark "remembers" something about the last glider); this does not affect reflection of the next glider in any way, though, so the Snark can be considered "functionally stateless":

I believe it's impossible to make a glider-to-glider device that would always toggle the "Immigration colour" of a non-allied glider (see below).

Which glider-to-glider conversions *are* possible, though?
Is there a (functionally stable stateless) glider reflector that converts an allied glider into an allied glider, and also preserves the "Immigration colour" of a non-allied glider?
A given glider in a given phase and location can be "Immigration-coloured" in four different ways (state-1, state-2, allied with state-1 majority, allied with state-2 majority). Is there a (functionally stable stateless) glider reflector that would preserve the distinctions between these four possibilities when reflecting a glider?

hotdogPi wrote: April 11th, 2024, 11:11 am In the Immigration rule, is there a color-changing glider reflector? Someone claimed to have posted one, but while it turns red to blue, blue remains blue and doesn't turn red. (Or whichever two colors are used.)

This is why I distinguish "color" and "colour", by the way.

Unless I'm missing something obvious, that's impossible in Immigration (at least when all five alive cells of the input glider have the same state).
Define a "slip" as any modification of a pattern such that some blue cells might be modified into green cells but there are no other modifications apart from that. (As a special case, doing nothing to the pattern also counts as a "slip".)
Suppose that there's a blue input glider at generation 0, and there's a green output glider at generation T. Between those generations, a reaction happens, following the rules of Immigration.
Now, imagine that the generation 0 is manually modified in such a way that the input glider becomes green and there are no other modifications apart from that. Such a modification amounts to manually doing a "slip" at generation 0. Under the rules of Immigration, the only possible consequence of a "slip" at generation 0 is a "slip" at generation 1 (which will then lead to a "slip" at generation 2, etc. etc. until reaching generation T). Since a "slip" cannot modify a green cell into a blue cell, it's impossible for the output glider to be modified from green to blue.
