B368/S12578
Posted: October 12th, 2026, 9:43 pm
This is a mildly explosive rule with 2x2's c/8d crawler and a small 4c/13o replicator documented by Eppstein.
This should be an effective model of Hickerson's 12-unit push and pull mechanisms:
At the moment, I'm attempting to unite these pieces in order to build a 12c/975o repship (3 units every 75 time steps for the replicator) with the push and pull mechanisms. What's the fastest way to find the missing middle? Is there an alternative phasing that works better?
Respectively, these solutions physically represent:
