Beluchenko's p13 is a period -13 oscillator found by Nicolay Beluchenko [1] on January 4, 2009 .[2] In terms of its 34 cells , it is the smallest known period 13 oscillator.[3] It gives sparks , allowing for the construction of non-trivial higher-period oscillators as seen in a later section .
There are three ways in which two of these can share a common block , all of which are shown below. Jason Summers also discovered that four of these oscillators can be combined to create a statorless oscillator (i.e., where none of the cells are alive in all phases ), making it the first such oscillator known with a prime period greater than two.
Beluchenko's p13 first appeared semi-naturally in March 2016 , in a symmetric soup submitted to Catagolue .[4]
