Re: Upper limit for oscillator period in MxN box

Is the goal to find them such that the initial bounding box never moves, or that the pattern never gets larger than an MxN box? EPE allows the bounding box to slide around, so a normal search will find all examples of the former, but would be annoying to search through. Instead, PRUNE can be set lik...

Why is this called the 'logarithmic replicator'? x = 19, y = 3, rule = B36/S245 6o7b6o$o4bo7bo4bo$b4o9b4o! As far as I can tell, the population hangs at a constant at the minima (approximately), and sqrt(t) at the maxima. Also, the bounding box follows sqrt(t) as well, so that's not it. I don't unde...

Most non-B0 spaceships do not have a strobing equivalent, so this would not happen. Ah, I was being dumb, B0/S8 rules don't strobe.
