Rules near Travelling Ts
Posted: October 23rd, 2026, 5:58 pm
This is a thread for rules near Travelling Ts (B3/S23-a5).
These patterns and reactions make up what I consider the "wider TTs rulespace" (the block oscillators are stand-ins for the margolus oscillators; on the right is the eating reaction and the T rotating reaction):
This rulespace is between B3-cky/S2-n3-ac5iq and B2i34cejknqy5-kny67c8/S23-a4cejrtwy56-c7 (2^50 rules). A large part of that comes from the eater and t-turn, so you can probably drop those if you find something cool; in that case the space is B3aeijn/S2-kn3-acq5iq to B2ikn34-irtw5-ny67c8/S023-a4-aikq56-c7 (2^62). If you're willing to go further you can drop the Climbing C as well, bringing you into B3aeijn/S2aei3-ackq5i to B2ikn34-rtw5-n678/S023-a4-akq56-c7 (2^69).
