- Which oscillators fall under the general notion of "hassler"?
- Which oscillators should be described as hasslers?
- Which oscillators should be described as honey farm hasslers?
- Which oscillators should be described as "X hasslers", where "X" stands for some unstable object or evolutionary sequence (such as R-pentomino or century)?
- Which oscillators should be described as "X hasslers", where "X" stands for a stable or oscillating object (such as toad, beehive or honey farm constellation)?
- What are possible ways to make the general notion of "hassler" more precise/rigorous?
- Which oscillators are not hasslers?
For a hassler, it is possible to say "this is a case of X hassling Y" or "this is a case of X hassling several copies of Y". For something like Karel's p177, that description does not work, because there is no "X".

For example, could Gabriel's p138 be said to be a hassler, or that would be too much of a stretch of the idea of hassling?Code: Select all
