This is the reason for the abundance of beehive@beehive:
Code: Select all
x = 25, y = 4, rule = B38/S2-i34q
3o18b3o$obo18bobo$4o17b3o$24bo!
vs tlife
Code: Select all
x = 25, y = 4, rule = B3/S2-i34q
3o18b3o$obo18bobo$4o17b3o$24bo!
The traffic light predecessor is a spark in tlife and in this rule too. Only one of the three different mono-substituted traffic light predecessors (B8 condition) evolves identically to tlife:
Code: Select all
x = 4, y = 3, rule = B38/S2-i34q
3o$ob2o$3o!
A di-substituted one gives another beehive@beehive:
Code: Select all
x = 4, y = 4, rule = B38/S2-i34q
bo$4o$bobo$b3o!
Two of the aforementioned predecessors to beehive at beehive in this rule yield a long barge in tlife, which accounts for the abundance of natural long barges in tlife as opposed to normal barges as well as the abundance of beehive at beehive in this rule.
QED.
PS. Accounting for a possible slightly higher abundance of biloaf:
Code: Select all
x = 4, y = 10, rule = B38/S2-i34q
3o$obo$3o4$b3o$bobo$b3o$bo!
