t log(t) via stifled breeder Population in generation t is asymptotic to t log(t) / (6 log(3)). A modified exponential aperiodic pattern emits a LWSS in gen 20*3^n + 32 (n >= 1). Meanwhile, a breeder produces a line of "stifled" guns, with eaters suppressing their outputs. Each LWSS destifles one gun. So in gen t there are about log(t)/log(3) active guns, which have emitted about t log(t)/(30 log(3)) gliders. Dean Hickerson, dean@ucdmath.ucdavis.edu 2/11/92Xref: breeder
