Hello, internet. Below, I have a pattern for a predecessor of a period 12 oscillator in the rule B3458/S568 (I call this rule Triangrow. I don't know if it has an actual name).

Can periodic stabilizations (e.g. p3) exist? I can't check right now because I'm away from my computer, but this can be searched via JLS or LLS I think.

Therefore, the first oscfinder.py script needs a remake to allow for odd periods.
Surprisingly, it does not. Simply remove the assert statement and it'll be ready to go. Alternatively, generate an osc of period 2x and downscale by 2.
