Achim's p8 is a period-8 oscillator discovered by Achim Flammenkamp on July 20, 1994.[1] In August 2004 Jason Summers and Mark Niemiec found a 13-glider synthesis of this oscillator.[2]
Commonness
On Catagolue, it is the fifth most common period 8 oscillator, being slightly less common than smiley but more common than blocker on cis-dock.[3] It first occurred naturally on August 21, 2015, in a soup submitted to Catagolue by Tanner Jacobi.[4]
