This edition of TMBR is in progress and has not yet been released. Please add any notes you think may be relevant (including in the form a of a TODO with a link to any relevant Discord discussion).

This Month in Beaver Research for February 2026. TODO: Write a proper introductory paragraph.

Holdouts

  • BB(6): 1e14 machines: 175. 1e15 machines: 239. 10 solved machines.
    • Holdouts lists for machines not simulated to 1e14 and 1e15 steps were created. The holdouts list counts were 178 and 252 respectively. See Spreadsheet for BB6.
    • Later, prurq found 10 more machines in the holdouts list that had previously been simulated to 1e15: thus the new 1e15 holdout count was 242.
    • Andrew Ducharme solved two machines using FAR.
    • prurq found two machines [1][2] to be Translated Cyclers. Shawn Ligocki verified one of them and discovered its preperiod to be over 1012 steps. mxdys verified the other. Both were 1e14 and 1e15 holdouts, thus reducing those holdout counts by 2.
    • mxdys found four more [3][4] Translated Cyclers in the remaining holdouts and solved one more TM using FAR.
    • Andrew Ducharme solved a machine using FAR. This machine was a 1e14 and 1e15 holdout, thus reducing those holdout counts by 1.
