Reduced the area by 3 by moving the disposal entirely under area already used, meaning far away from where it naturally should be. Still loops though!

I spent all week thinking about this puzzle, trying to get the cycle count down as far as I could and through that effort, I brought it down to what I think is min. It wasn't a straight path since I messed up my accounting of a couple things and thought that the min cycles for proliferating silver was 38 versus 37 for proliferating gold. 

Trying to pursue the latter had me make a machine where both products needed silver from the silver input and it was all kinds of horrible and I couldn't even finish it. Then I decided to just go and do the 38 with silver proliferation, succeeded, and then after sleeping on it I realized my enumeration mistakes and went for 36 and got it.

Let's hope rebix doesn't find some nonsense with the glyph of purification that gets 35... I don't think it's possible since you can't Saverio's Transformer ten quicksilver out of just two silver in time but you can never be sure your min calculation is correct with these things.
