#N t log(t)^2
#C Population in gen t is asymptotic to   t log(t)^2 / (12 log(3)^2).
#C More specifically, for  n>=4,  the population in gen  20 3^n + 90
#C is  (5n^2 + 43) 3^(n-1) - (15n^4 + 70n^3 + 237n^2 + 254n)/12 + 3440.
#C
#C In gen  20 3^n - 123  (n>=2),  a glider in an exponential aperiodic
#C device bounces off a fixed reflector.  The bounce turns on a MWSS
#C gun and sends a glider toward a diagonal line of boats, as in the
#C linear aperiodic pattern.  The MWSSs destifle guns produced by a
#C stifled breeder.  When a glider returns from the nearest boat, the
#C MWSS gun is turned off, having produced  n+1  MWSSs.  In gen t,
#C about  log(t)/log(3)  MWSS pulses have occurred, activating about
#C log(t)^2 / (2 log(3)^2)  guns, which have produced about
#C t log(t)^2 / (60 log(3)^2)  gliders.
