Cyclic is a period-2 oscillator that resembles both a bakery and the rotor of the great on-off and eater plug. It was reported by Ian Osgood in 2006 and recognized as a new casing for a previously known oscillator, 32P2.15181.[1]
One predecessor consists entirely of a bakery plus two diagonally adjacent cells added in the middle, as shown below. Due to the simplicity of this predecessor, the oscillator is sometimes referred to as the "most rediscovered pattern" in Conway's Game of Life.[2]

A 10-glider synthesis for this oscillator was found by Goldtiger997 on July 6, 2016.[3]
