2.3.3[1], 16-bit P2 #6[2] (apgcode xp2_k3g44gljz11) is a small, unnamed period-2 oscillator discovered by Dean Hickerson on May 20, 1993,[3] cited as an example of "n.k" symmetry. It is extremely similar to blinkers bit pole, with a domino spark replacing the central dot.

Construction

This oscillator can be synthesized in 13 gliders.
