Composers: Difference between revisions
I also added extra details about the history of composers and how they form, and I added the "newly discovered" ones. (Also, my apologies if I used rle. I tried using apgcode but the lifeviewer wasn't working.) |

The composers are a classification of common natural constellations composed of three objects. Two of these objects are identical, with the third differing, such that the entire configuration has D2_+1 symmetry.
The most common composer to occur naturally is Beethoven, which assigned all subsequent composers names as a result.
The composer phenomenon started when an auto-correction error had changed the word "beehive" into Beethoven[1]. A life-enthusiast mistook the word thinking that it was the name for the entire constellation. As a result, the term had been coined.
Composers usually generate when a familiar four collides with an object or spark. This causes the objects coming from the left and right sides of the familiar four to turn into different objects, while the object coming from the bottom stays intact (but in some instances, it can be perturbed). Not all composers have to generate that way though. Some composers—like Stravinsky or Grieg—come from entirely asymmetrical patterns without any familiar four appearing. Another composer, Blockx, forms when two traffic light predecessors collide with one another to create it. As long as the pattern ends with at least two different objects and has complete D2_+1 symmetry, it is considered a composer.
