	With all of these advancements that led to diminutive guns, it may be easy to fall to the temptation of saying that the work on these guns was not worth it. However, the legacy of these advancements is more important an important timeline cataloging the evolution of life technology. Novel innovations in spark searching were necessary to find minimized versions of the gun's sparkers, and searching for most efficient welds still plays a role in some other low-period guns.

	Travelling Ts has a [[rulestring]] very similar to that of [[Conway's Game of Life]], having all shared birth conditions and most survival conditions. It differs in S5, as adding that to Life's rulestring makes it [[explosive]]. To allow for exploration, singular [[INT]] condition, S3-a, is thus removed to allow the rule to be more stable. Thus, cells only die with three neighbors if the cells are arranged like so:<br>		Travelling Ts has a [[rulestring]] very similar to that of [[Conway's Game of Life]], having all shared birth conditions and most survival conditions.

	The live neighbors in S3a make up the same neighborhood as any live cell has in [[block]], which consequently rules out the block as a [[still life]] (this is the only still-life lost from B3/S23, and the lost transition otherwise only affects periodic patterns - [[beacon]] is likewise the only finite p2 lost in this rule from B3/S23). Other very common patterns from B3/S23, including the [[glider]] and [[blinker]], do not need S3a, so they work as normal under the rulestring.
