The rectifier is a 180° stable reflector, notable for its recovery time of 106 generations and small number of catalysts. It can replace the boojum reflector in a large number of instances, although in some cases it cannot fit into the space provided. It has several advantages over the boojum reflector, namely:
* It has a much faster recovery time, allowing certain guns to be compacted. * The output path is free of catalysts, enabling it to be used as a merge device. * The passive bounding box is slightly smaller, so it can compact many glider guns.
The transparent beehive reaction was discovered by Paul Callahan in 1996.
