I HAD SOME FUN WITH COMPUTER SEARCH FOR FORMATIONS, BUT I MOSTLY GOT SOME FALSE POSITIVES (I THINK) :D DECIDED TO PUT THEM IN ANYWAY

FIRST RESULTS: ALL THESE 5 CONSTELLATIONS HAVE A SHORT LOOP (PERIOD) OF 5 FRAMES, SO THEY COULD BE EXTENDED VERSIONS OF KNOWN DANCING FLY FORMATIONS. FURTHER EXPLORATION IN PROGRESS :D

(BECAUSE THER ARE SEVERAL SMALL DANCING FLY FORMATIONS WHICH ALSO MOVE LEFT OR UP AND WHICH ALSO HAVE A SHORT LOOP OF 5 FRAMES.)

FORMATION 1 IS A "LIFTED Η-VORTEX" (3-FLY DFF) WITH A 4-FLY FREE RIDER FORMATION.  
-----------  
SO THIS IS NOT A NEW DANCING FLY FORMATION, BUT A NEW FREE-RIDER FORMATION!  
  
TRIVIA:  
| THE FREE-RIDER FORMATION NEEDS 6 FRAMES FROM THE MAP TO BUILD ITSELF, AND DURING THESES 6 FRAMES, THERE ARE A LOT OF INTERACTIONS, SO THE BASIC "LIFTED Η-VORTEX" DFF CAN NOT BE EXTRACTED FROM THIS CAVE MAP.  
| THE THREE FLIES WHICH ARE GOING TO BUILD THE BASIC "LIFTED Η-VORTEX" ARE:   
1. THE Ζ AT THE BOTTOM-RIGHT  
2. THE Η BETWEEN THE TWO OTHER ΖΖ  
3. THE Η WHICH TOUCHES THE LEFTMOST Ζ.  
| THE 4-FLY FREE-RIDER FORMATION INSEPARABLE; THE FORMATION WORKS ONLY WITH ALL (OR NONE) OF THEM.  
  
FURTHER RESULTS ON THE OTHER FORMATIONS IN WORK... ;)

FORMATION 2 IS ALSO NOT A NEW DFF, BUT IT'S THE FIRST FREE-RIDER FORMATION (AFAIK) WHICH IS BASED ON T W O DIFFERENT DFFS!  
  
THESE BASIC DFFS ARE A "Η&AMP;Η" (2 ΗΗ) AND A "LIFTED Η-VORTEX" (ΗΗΖ). BOTH THESE DFFS MOVE UP WITH THE SAME SPEED OF 5 FRAMES PER STEP (WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A NECESSARY CONDITION SO THEY CAN BE PART OF THE SAME WHOLE FORMATION). THE REMAINING ΗΗΖ ARE AN INSEPARABLE FREE RIDER FORMATION.  
  
THE FREE RIDER FORMATION BUILDS ITSELF AFTER 4 FRAMES FROM THE MAP, SO THE "LIFTED Η-VORTEX" CANNOT BE EXTRACTED FROM THIS CAVE MAP. (THE "Η&AMP;Η" CAN BE EXTRACTED: IT'S THE TOP-LEFT Η AND THE Η BELOW THAT ONE.)  
  
THE STARTING MAP FOR THE FREE RIDER FORMATION IS:  
  
(1ΗU)(2ΗD)(...)(...)  
(...)(3ΗL)(...)(4ΖR)  
(5ΗL)(6ΗU)(...)(...)  
(...)(...)(7ΖD)(...)  
(...)(8ΗL)(...)(...)  
  
HERE, (...) DENOTES ONE EMPTY SPACE, U/D/L/R THE FACING DIRECTIONS AND THE NUMBERS ARE JUST FOR DISTINCTION.  
1 AND 2 ARE THE "Η&AMP;Η" DFF,  
6,7,8 ARE THE "LIFTED Η-VORTEX" DFF,  
AND 3,4,5 IS THE FREE-RIDER FORMATION (WHICH CAN ONLY MOVE WITH THE HELP OF THE TWO DFFS).

FORMATION 3 IS A VERY INTERESTING ONE; IT COULD OR COULD NOT BE A NEW DFF, DEPENDING ON PRECISE DEFINITIONS! :D  
  
IT CAN BE SEEN AS A "LIFTED Ζ-VORTEX" (A A DFF WITH ΖΖΗ) PLUS A 4-FLY FREE RIDER FORMATION. THE SPECIAL THING, HOWEVER, IS THAT THE ROLE OF THE Η INSIDE THAT "LIFTED Ζ-VORTEX" FORMATION CHANGES AFTER EACH PERIOD.  
  
I THINK I'LL MAKE AN OWN DEMO CAVE ONCE I ANALYZED ALL YOUR NEW FORMATIONS WHERE I CAN EXPLAIN EVERYTHING BETTER IN ONE COMMENT :D  
  
BTW, THE WHOLE FORMATION NEEDS 5 FRAMES TO BUILD ITSELF FROM THE MAP, SO AGAIN, THE "LIFTED Ζ-VORTEX" CANNOT BE EXTRACTED FROM THIS MAP.

FORMATION 4 IS nesdori'S "NEST OF 7 FFLIES" PLUS AN EXTRA Ζ&AMP;Ζ WHICH DOESN'T INTERACT WITH THE OTHER 7. SO NOTHING NEW HERE.

FINALLY, FORMATION 5 (THE BOTTOM ONE) IS ANOTHER DOUBLE-FREE-RIDER FORMATION RIDING ON 2 DFFS! IT'S ONE "Η&AMP;Η" AND ONE "LIFTED Η-VORTEX" (ΗΗΖ) WITH A FOUR-ΗΗΗΗ FREE-RIDING FORMATION :D
