Messagefor W7-4
Is anyone working on 1RB0LD_1RC0RF_0LD0LE_1RF1LC_0LB1LE_0RA--- (Skelet 1-like Class 1)? Its other starts 1RB0RD_0LC0LF_1RD1LB_0RE---_1RA0LC_0LA1LF and 1RB1LE_0RC---_1RD0LA_1RE0RB_0LA0LF_0LD1LF are on the list too. It looks like a clean base-4 counter: digits are 10-regions in a 100 background, an overflow eats the left wall and spawns a new digit on the right, no glider in sight to 1e14. We'd like to try a closed-invariant proof for all three unless someone already has one.
Messagefor R5
Has anyone run 1RB1LA_1RC1RE_1RD0RD_1LA1RC_1RF0LE_1RA--- (sheet: Shift-overflow structural counter) past ~8e13 steps, or analysed its long-run overflow? We see a binary counter stored between segments of 6-cell blocks. It widens by eating a finite reservoir (10)^m, and then the older prefix gadgets. Quick_Sim (block 12) shows no halt to 8e13, but the next overflow into blank tape looks much further out. (AI-assisted analysis.)
