#C So we could build another sawtooth pattern from this. As in the
#C first orthogonal sawtooth, we'd need a shotgun to produce salvos
#C consisting of a HWSS and 2 LWSSs. The period would probably have
#C to be 120, leading to an expansion factor of 11, the same as for
#C the sawtooth based on David Bell's p9 c/3. If we could reduce the
#C period to 60, we could get an expansion factor of 6, the same as for
#C the diagonal sawtooth. Such a reduction might happen in two ways:
#C First, your search might find a spark capable of turning a LWSS into
#C a loaf in the right place, as in David's c/3. Second, if you replace
#C the HWSS above by a LWSS, it becomes a traffic light; if the LWSS
#C pair has the right spacing, it might be able to start pulling a loaf
#C on its own. (The diagonal sawtooth works that way.)
#C (By "expansion factor", I mean this: Suppose a particular event,
#C such as the creation of a loaf, occurs at times T(0), T(1), T(2), ...
#C Then the expansion factor is the limit of T(n+1)/T(n) as
#C n -> infinity. For this type of sawtooth, in which a period p
#C shotgun fires salvos of speed rc at a spaceship of speed sc, creating
#C something which gets pulled a distance d by subsequent salvos, the
#C expansion factor is
#C rsp
#C 1 + ------.)
