Fox (or gnome[1]) is the smallest period-2 oscillator with an asymmetric rotor. It was found by David Buckingham in July 1977.[2]
Commonness
It is the 74th most common oscillator on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.
Glider synthesis
All strict still lifes with a population of 20 or fewer cells, as well as all oscillators and spaceships with 16 or fewer cells, are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.
