Synthesis

A 14-glider synthesis was found by Jeremy Tan on March 29, 2019 based on a soup submitted to Catagolue.[2]

gollark: * peptides/amino acids probably
gollark: It also carries things like proteins used for self-repair and building new things.
gollark: This is silly. The body is much more messy and complicated than human machines with actual design. Blood carries lots of "data" too in the form of hormones and immune system hardware.
gollark: Tiger Lake goes up to 96EUs, if I IIRC.
gollark: ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆæ embeds.
