Talk:2-engine Cordership

Should we have a redirect from "Two-engine Cordership" to here, and the same for other Corderships? 77topaz (talk) 22:59, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Yes, let's. Apple Bottom (talk) 09:06, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Perhaps update the ConwayLife home page

It has a chance of containing this, and says "A c/12 diagonal spaceship that is the smallest engineered spaceship (i.e., spaceship that was deliberately constructed instead of found) known to date." However, it wasn't constructed in the same sense as ones that have multiple known reactions put together in a deterministic manner, the reactions were discovered with it, and it has also appeared in the sep_stdin census, surely the fact that multiple times, two at a specific displacement and phase shift from each other with debris behind them have formed it implies that it is not constructed in the sense that Sir Robin is not described as such, or does the fact that such a search was necessary make it constructed? Also, is sep_stdin to be considered notable? We could state that it was the only one it found (many occurrences of, implying that if the number of predecessors (and thus commonness) is about constant for its size, this is the only simple 2-engine cordership) and show some sample soups (some of which are nontrivial (ie. in the sense that the object in question doesn't appear immediately in the decay of what could have been found by a predecessor-searching program) and show how sparks originating in a footprint outside it can form its still lifes), though most oscillators' pages don't show specific occurrences, only mention their existences, so perhaps not (though that's to avoid duplicating information, whereas someone reading the current article wouldn't think to look for this).
