Rabbit: Added disproven oscillator periods

'''Vote''' is a [[totalistic]] [[Life-like cellular automaton|Life-like]] [[cellular automaton]] and a standard Gerard Vichniac voting rule.

The rule is defined as follows: a cell will be alive the next generation if and only if there are currently 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 alive cells in its range-1 [[Moore neighbourhood]]. By including the center cell itself, the total number of neighbours is {{eq|{{times|3|3}}|9}}. Hence it has the totalistic rulestring 56789, as is used by [[Mirek's Cellebration]]. However, in the outer-totalistic birth/survival notation with 8 neighbours, birth conditions assume a dead center cell, so there are at most 8 alive neighbour cells; survival conditions assume an alive center cell, so there is one less alive neighbour cell required. Thus it is expressed as B5678/S45678, a rulestring used by [[Golly]] and [[LifeViewer]].

Most patterns in Vote stabilize quickly into amorphous aggregates; as there is no birth on less than 5 alive neighbours, no pattern is capable of escaping its initial [[bounding box]] or [[bounding diamond]], and [[spaceship]]s and [[infinite growth]] patterns are consequently ruled out. [[Natural]] objects include [[still lifes]] of 12, 16, 17, and 19+ cells, and period-2 [[oscillator]]s. No other oscillator periods have been discovered yet, although Keith Amling disproved the existence of oscillators with periods 3, 4, 5 in August 2026 using [[LLSSS]].<ref name="post232565"/>

'''Vote 4/5''' (or '''Anneal''') is a modification to the Vote rule that has 4 and 5 swapped. Its totalistic rulestring is 46789 and its birth/survival notation is B4678/S35678.

Patterns under Vote 4/5 tend to have more active alive/dead borders. In particular, a single cell supported by a 2-cell thick line replicates following Wolfram's Rule 150.

Natural objects include still lifes with 4, 6, 8+ cells and oscillators of several periods.

Rabbit: Rabbit moved page Life enthusiast to Lifenthusiast over redirect: Lifenthusiast is a far more common spelling on both the Forums and Discord server, going against the move reason given by Nathaniel in 2011 (perhaps the situation was different back then). It is also spelled Lifenthusiast on the cited LL page.

'''Solifuge''' is a [[(6,2)c/31|(12,4)c/62]] spaceship constructed by [[Nico Brown]] on 30 November 2025 using a [[lumps of muck]]-based crawler he discovered the previous day.<ref name="post222000"/> He reduced it significantly to its current form the day after the ship's discovery.<ref name="post222124"/> Its name is another term for camel spiders, which relates to the fact that the spaceship travels [[camelwise]]. At 1,571 cells, it is over 15 times smaller than the previous smallest [[macro-spaceship]], the [[leaf bug 2]], and over 152 times smaller than the previous smallest-known [[camelship]].

==Underlying reaction==

The base reaction of the spaceship is that of a lumps of muck being displaced by (12,4) cells every 62 generations. Weirdly, the underlying LOM reaction is the exact same as that in the [[p124 lumps of muck hassler]], which has been known since 1994.<ref name="post222002"/>

All period-62 variants of the ship have the lowest period for a crawler-based spaceship, beating (34,7)c/156 technology.

== History ==
On November 30, 2025, Nico Brown completed the original {{times|2305|1560}} spaceship based on a crawler he discovered the previous day.<ref name="post222000"/> Following minor reductions by [[PK22]] and [[iNoMed]], Nico Brown made a significant reduction on December 1 to {{times|584|527}}.<ref name="post222012"/><ref name="post222061"/><ref name="post222124"/> Soon after, he made a few more small reductions resulting in a form with a minimum population of 2,764 cells and a bounding box of {{times|501|496}}.<ref name="post222124"/> The pattern was reduced further on December 3 and 4, first to 2,053 cells by Nico Brown,<ref name="post222245"/> then to 2,036 cells by [[Elijah Ken]],<ref name="post222252"/> then to 1,989 cells by [[iNoMed]],<ref name="post222269"/> and twice by Nico Brown to its current 1,573-cell form.<ref name="post222287"/> There were several intermediate steps in these reduction processes that were posted on the forum, but are not mentioned here. For example, it was reduced [https://discord.com/channels/357922255553953794/370571014654001154/1446524359501021195 here] to 1572 cells. There have since been much further reductions bringing the minimum population below 1500 that are yet to be mentioned on this page.
