Holdouts

  • BB(7):
    • Andrew Ducharme has continued reducing the number of holdouts with Stage 4 of Phase 2. Initially, in the beginning of the month there were 22,801,601 holdouts, and 22,721,168 holdouts remain. (0.35% reduction)
  • BB(3,4):
    • XnoobSpeakable and Lúkos are running filters in the domain under Phase 2, reducing the holdouts count from 434,787,751 to 64,777,377 (85.1% reduction).

Theory

TODO: Update this section after studying existing literature a bit more.

Linear-Inequality Affine Transformation Automata (LIATA) were introduced as a generalization of the BMO1 rules:

  • @Bard proved that 3 dimension LIATA are Turing complete: [1]
  • @star proved that 2 dimension LIATA are Turing complete: [2]
  • BMO1 is a 2d-LIATA so this provides some sense for the difficulty of the problem.
