Re: Symbiosis
I've extended Skopje so it can handle any rule that lifelib can handle. Based on this, scraping FWK's oscillator collection and playing around with the small stable reflectors in this rule, I have shown that absolutely any period can be realised by an oscillator of at most 32 cells : x = 158, y = 15...

Re: Nakano, the new Oscillizer
Nakano now computes the mod, symmetry and temporal symmetry of input patterns; the output format is essentially the same as that used in DRH's oscillator stamp collection with apgsearch symmetry codes in place of the old custom notation. For example, 2.2.6 has mod 1 and ".c+c" (C2_1 with temporal D4...
