I have not done the CAP analysis that I have provided for the smaller tori. This may follow at a future timepoint with an improved software handling large (gigabyte-size) arrays.

Some observations:
- - 63.8% of all initial patterns end up with an empty torus
- An additional 21.5% end up with a non-empty still life
- An additional 12.6% end up in a p2 oscillator
- That leaves 2.1% which end up in an oscillator >= p3
- p3 is rare (only 1,296 patterns end up in a p3)
- The longest period is p24, quite common actually (wait for more information on this channel)
- 4.5 bn (!) - 6.6% - of all initial patterns end up in a 12-cell ash pattern, whereas only 1.1 million (~ 0.025% of the previous figure) end up in an 11-cell ash pattern
- No ash pattern (incl. the oscillators) contains more than 18 cells (this threshold happens to be exactly 50% of all cells) (50% maximum density - coincidence? or is this a proven law in B3/S23?)
- No pattern needed more than 90 generations to determine its fate
- The mean number of generations (to ash) has risen to 11.6 (from 8.1 for Tori of tSize=5)
