Titanic toroidal traveler is a superstring with a 9-cell repeating segment. The front part repeats with period 16, but the detached back part is quite unpredictable. The unpredictable part is replicator-like in its behaviour, and advances at 7c/40.

A similar situation arises when the twin bees shuttle is iterated on a cylinder of width 12.
