This machine was the first identified BB(6) Collatz-like Cryptid, and is closely related to Hydra.
It simulates the Collatz-like iteration
starting from
A(8, 0)
,
using configurations of the form
A(a+4, b) = ^ 1^b 0 1^a E> $
It was discovered by mxdys on 28 Jun 2024 and shared on Discord [1].
Compared to the Hydra iteration, this one starts at (8, 0) rather than (3, 0), and the roles of odd and even
a
are exchanged (in terms of which increases
b
by two, and which decrements
b
or halts).
Obstacles to proving the long-run behavior are equally serious.
Like the Hydra iteration, this one is biased toward increasing the value of
b
(assuming equal chances of adding +2 or -1). There is no halt in the first ten million iterations, by which point
b
has reached 498503.
