Unfortunately, this reaction can't be used yet because there is no known way of synthezising a 4-color glider.

Challenges:
4-color glider synthesis
Other symbiotic elementary spaceship syntheses. This is hard because the leading edge, including the diagonally connected cell, of the spaceship has to have at least three colors.
Synthesizing custom multi-colored still lifes. This is hard because 1 color often dominates leaving no cells of the other color.
Find other colorised rules. Preferably colors should all have equal relations to each other, i.e., colors should behave according to whether the colors are different or not, not according to what the colors are.
Proposed terminology:
Color patch: A group of mutually interacting cells of the same color.


Dying color patch: A color patch which takes part in a reaction but doesn't have any cells of its own color that get born form it at the end. A color might still be at the end of a reaction if there's another color patch of the same color or if it gets reborn through 3 different colors, this does not change the status of the color patch.

Inductive color patch: A color patch that persists until the end of a reaction but doesn't have cells of its own color in the desired output object(s).

Symbiotic: A pattern that has at least two colors and cannot function with all cells from any individual color patch being removed.
Example: Symbiotic glider
Not an example: Bi-block with blocks of two colors with each block having a single color.

Glider chromaticity: The cell color(s) of a glider, as opposed to color in the traditional sense.

On a side note, I'm new to the forums so I'd like to ask something: When I click "preview" before submitting a reply, it shows my patterns without having to click "show in viewer". Is this how you see it or just me?

Welcome to the forums!

If you use the [ viewer ] tags then it shows the pattern inline. Your current post has this so we see the patterns inline in the post.

Alternatively (and recommended) instead of using the [ viewer ] tags, use the [ code ] tags in which case you'll see a code box with the "Show in Viewer" link as below:

I have a vague memory seeing that 4-color glider toad synthesis. Where did you find it? This means we can now make a symbiotic LWSS gun using the Fast Forward Force Field synthesis that I posted above. I'll try to get get started on it now. Also, thank you very much for reviving this thread!

Well Quadlife is a superset of CGoL, so it is Turing-complete, though I don't know of any computing mechanism that actively uses color.

Thanks a million! How about colorized PCA? Could there be any such thing that is also Turing-complete?
Or are all Turing-complete CAs equivalent or compatible with each other?

Re: Colorised CA

Posted: November 5th, 2020, 10:03 pm

God has given me the answer to the above question:
The UTM-ness of all CAs can be proven as follows:
Let "P = PCA-ness." and "C = colorized-CA-ness." .
Then the requirements for computation-principles denies the "dialectical/dialetheist" logical contradiction of both P-UTM-ness negating C-UTM-ness and C-UTM-ness negating P-UTM-ness ( = namely, their simultaneous co-existence and co-non-existence, or, surviving together after cutting each other's throat), which means that P-UTM-ness = C-UTM-ness.
That's because the whole set of CAs is cross-classified into these four sub-sets:

nonC＆nonP, C＆nonP,
nonC＆P, C＆P

where nonC＆nonP is included in nonC＆P as the special case with the probabilities restricted to either 0 or 1, and the UTM-ness of C＆nonP and nonC＆P has already been proved, and the remaining issue was whether or not C＆P is also UTM, which has been solved affirmatively/positively just now/above.

Challenges: [...]
Find other colorised rules. Preferably colors should all have equal relations to each other, i.e., colors should behave according to whether the colors are different or not, not according to what the colors are.
[...]
One interesting question, is there a colourised variant of Conway's Life with all of the following properties?
  1. There are two colours (two "alive" cellstates, three cellstates in total).
  2. The ruleset is completely symmetric with respect to the exchange of the colours.
  3. The ruleset is isotropic (i.e. symmetric with respect to rotations and reflections).
  4. "Monochromatic" gliders exist.
  5. There is a synthesis of a state-2 glider by colliding two or more state-1 gliders. (This property would allow to construct glider-constructible objects of different colours, starting from a "monochromatic" initial pattern.)
Another question, is there a three-state CA where properties 1 through 4 from the above hold, with an additional property that small "monochromatic" initial seeds usually remain "monochromatic" as they evolve, but sometimes can spontaneously change to the other colour (again becoming a "monochromatic" evolving pattern for a while)?
(It is not too hard to engineer such CA with more than two "alive" colours, where e.g. 1 beats 2 beats 3 beats 1. But I don't know good examples with just two colours.)

However, I have realized that I had been using rule in a way other than the original intent of being a marked version of QuadLife, especially for marking circuitry in different colors, and sometimes four colors didn't seem like enough. Also, I was also wondering about how to extend QuadLife to include more states.

So, I created two new variants of Colorized Life with 8 and 10 colors:

Code: Select all

@RULE EV2Steiner8Life

An extension of Immigration / QuadLife to 8 states, using the Steiner system S(3, 4, 8)
Also includes marked states (which can also be used to convert between colors)

Whenever a cell is born from 3 neighbors, the color of the new cell follows a S(3, 4, 8 ) or S(3, 4, 10) Steiner system respectively. Note that any quadruplet colors behave the same way as in QuadLife.

There are a total of 14 of them in Steiner8Life:

Is there any way to colorize rules with both odd and even birth conditions like B34k/S23?

LifeWiki wrote:Isotropic non-totalistic colourised Life
Ambox notice.png This article needs to be expanded with: Isotropic Non-totalistic Colourised Life.

In July 2024, ColorfulGalaxy designed a Colourised Life Rule where all live states are "created equal", and parent cells in three different colors do not generate a fourth color. The number of live states can be arbitrarily large.

This method of generating Colourised Life can be generalized to colourising INT rules without B0, B2c, B2e, B2i, B2n, B4c, B4e, B4i, B4w, B4z, B6i, B6n or B8.

Re: Colorised CA

I think I’ve found a coloring scheme that allows for colorized CA with any birth condition except for B6. There are 3 alive states here. How this works is as follows:
When 1 state is involved in birth, that state is born. Self-explanatory.
When 2 states are involved in birth:
  • if the birth condition is even and there’s a tie, then the third state is born
  • otherwise, majority wins
When 3 states are involved in birth:
  • if there is a two-way tie, then the third state is born
  • for B3 only: choose one cell contributing to the birth, the state located there when B3 happens is the one that is born
  • otherwise, majority wins
The reason this doesn’t work with B6 is because of the following three-way-tie case:

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 3, rule = B3/S23Super
2A$B$B2C!
While you could solve it in the same way that B3 is solved (by choosing a specific cell), this would break symmetry for conditions such as B6n. Is there any way to extend this to B6 that still preserves symmetry?

Also, can someone write a script to generate one of these colorized rules for any INT rule without B6?
