User:Sokwe/interesting oscillators

This table contains the "interesting" oscillators that were added to the oscillator page. A clear and widely-accepted definition of "interesting" does not currently exist. Several entries in the "first discovered" column are inaccurate, but they have been left in place after the move from the oscillator page. Feel free to edit this page.
