Period-agnostic

A mechanism for an oscillator is described as period-agnostic if it works at any sufficiently high period and does not require a specific period. Examples include the two pond and two block reaction, the eater-bound pond reaction, bi-block hasslers, the jostling reaction in the first LifeViewer window below, and the loaf-flipping reaction in the second LifeViewer window below.
