New replicator that creates a flying Sierpinski triangle

Hello, my first time here, but I'd like to get some opinions on this new rule for creating what I think is a really amazing replicator. Is it unique? Is it a step up from a Fredkin replicator?
I show it off and explain it in my video here:
https://youtu.be/rUM3rj3lbDQ
I use a Generations algorithm and 3 states for a cell.
Black = dead
Red = alive
Yellow = trail left behind by red and dies after 1 generation
Rule in Base64 MAP Notation:
Code: Select all
MAPSAAAAAAAAACAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/3
I've made other really nice patterns using it, but I think the flying Sierpinski triangles were the most impressive.

I really like the two flying over each other version from your video.
Code:
Select all
x = 5, y = 5, rule = MAPSAAAAAAAAACAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/3
....A$
...B.$

.B$
A!

Thanks! Wow, didn’t know you could embed simulations in here. I got a lot to learn.

Reminds me of this one I found a while ago.

Hmm... that reminds me of
this pattern, another example of Sierpinski replicators XOR-ing through each other, though that one is in an isotropic two-state rule.

muzik, yeah, and I also noticed you found another one in the post 77topaz linked to that gives the exact pattern with a different rule.
Code: Select all
x = 24, y = 7, rule = B2a3ir5aik7e/S2k4z

It has the same kind of pattern but I noticed it does something very different and cool. It creates the overall pattern but its constituent parts are smaller oscillating patterns of the same type, whereas the constituent parts of my pattern are just individual cells.
Looks like twinb7 also found the same pattern with this.

Somehow, I rediscovered 1/1/5 in 2017, however I always thinking I discovered it first until someone rediscovered it again and then Saka said he discovered it in 2015...

To be fair, that was also probably a rediscovery as well, it was probably found shortly after generations was conceived
