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 from the record positions is the same in both record configurations. Distance is defined as being the maximum distance to record position 1 that was visited between the configuration of record 1 and record 2.
