Example "Translated cycler": 45-step space-time diagram of bbchallenge's machine 44394115 (bbch). The same bounded pattern is being translated to the right forever. The text annotations illustrate the main idea for recognising "Translated Cyclers": find two configurations that break a record (i.e. visit a memory cell that was never visited before) in the same state (here state D) such that the content of the memory tape at distance L from the record positions is the same in both record configurations. Distance L is defined as being the maximum distance to record position 1 that was visited between the configuration of record 1 and record 2.
