Unix (plural: unices ) is a period-6 oscillator that was found by David Buckingham on February 10, 1976 . It consists of two blocks eating a long barge .[1] 16 cells , it is the smallest known period 6 oscillator.[2] sparker , having been applied to p18 bi-block hassler , period-246 glider gun , hotcrystal0 reaction , p6 bumper , and so on.
Unix is about the twenty-sixth most common naturally-occurring oscillator in Achim Flammenkamp's census , being about as common as octagon 2 .[3] Catagolue , it is the most common period 6 oscillator and until 2020, it was the only non-trivial one to have appeared naturally, as all others consisted of period 2 3 rotors that do not interact.[4] 2020 , an oscillator appeared naturally consisting of a unix whose spark is suppressed on one side by a clock .[5]
Glider synthesis A 5-glider synthesis of this oscillator was found by Goldtiger997 on May 14, 2019 , based on a 4-glider collision submitted to Catagolue by Arie Paap in a custom apgsearch symmetry.[6]
