In b3-rys23-ky there is a glider-beehive collision where the beehive is shifted five cells and the glider is reflected 90 degrees. This "pathological" pattern is four of these reactions arranged in a square that expands with every collision.

In b2-a5k6n7cs12-i3ij4k5j6-ae this is a methuselah lasting 216,875 generations, with the last activity due to a ship collision 5500 blocks diagonally from the starting area.

In B34c/S234y8, this is a dirty rake interacting with some escaping gliders of a methuselah.

In B2ci3ai4c8/S02ae3eijkq4iz5ar this is a small 6-cell spaceship bouncing back and forth between two still lifes pushing them one cell further away each time it reacts with them (i.e. an oscillator of ever increasing period)

Huh. There's so many question quotes flying around these days.

How long will it become PATHOLOGICAL in the Period?

EDIT: You might get a couple soups per second. Haven?t tested yet, though.

EDIT: Removes questionquotes. That is, if you call "a fraction of a soup per second" and "barely any non-PATHOLOGICAL objects" "apgsearchable".

So, just barely apgsearchable.

EDIT2: apgsearching will be EXTREMELY slow.

EDIT: The PATHOLOGICALs will mostly be high-period oscillators.

Wait... B2c345/S5 seems like the apgsearchable explosive rule that I was looking for. A large random soup explodes exceptionally slowly, which is one thing that I wanted, and the fact that the explosion is so slow makes the rule just barely apgsearchable. But, you might get a lot of PATHOLOGICALs, due to the extremely slow growth rate.

apgsearch: Ain?t growin?, ain?t periodic, so it?s PATHOLOGICAL!

The two pathologicals in b3-kq4js23 are p9 oscillators in the same soup

One of the soups creates a puffer in B3/S23.
