Minimal rotor challenge
Posted: June 18th, 2019, 6:09 pm
The rules:
- post an oscillator with minimal rotor size, i.e. for period p the rotor size is ceiling(log_2(p)).
- only the successor period p of the actual record is allowed to be posted (e.g. if actual record is p=4, only post p=5)
- allowed rule space: isotropic non-totalistic Life-like cellular automaton with Moore neighborhood of range 1
- the last post with the largest period p that is not improved/beaten for 10 days wins.
I will start with, p=1, p=2, p=3 and p=4:
p=1:(rotor size 0)
p=2:(rotor size 1)
p=3:(rotor size 2)
p=4:(rotor size 2)
[p=5 has minimal rotor size 3]

I will start with, p=1, p=2, p=3 and p=4:
p=1:
Code: Select all
x = 1, y = 1, rule = B/S0
o!p=2:
Code: Select all
x = 3, y = 1, rule = B2i/S01e
obo!p=3:
Code: Select all
x = 4, y = 3, rule = B4j5a/S12-en3ijr4ajr
bo$o$b3o!p=4:
Code: Select all
x = 4, y = 3, rule = B4j5ac/S12-en3eijnr4anr
bo$o$b3o![p=5 has minimal rotor size 3]
