Pretty odd to think that this oscillator was only discovered in 1989.

It's hard to explain how to do these formatting tricks here without the formats taking effect. So here's a summary posted somewhere safer:

Ah, hang on a moment -- I have some notes about "bespoke git-flavoured Catagolue markdown" for use. It says here these comments should support

  • bulleted lists
  • bold text
  • and italics

and also images:

and most importantly RLE:

'''rle x = 46, y = 42, rule = B3/S23 14bo$14bobo$14b2o3$8bo$9bo13bobo$7b3o13b2o$3o21bo$2bo$bo13$13b3o11b3o$ 13bo13bo$14bo13bo$3o$2bo$bo11$44bo$43b2o$43bobo! '''

Here's hoping I haven't made any typos and this works on the first try, because comment preview and edit options are conspicuously missing...!

[Copy everything except the header line if you want to paste the RLE from the previous comment into Golly. There are no [code] tags here as there are on conwaylife.com -- straight copies from HTML tend to replace newlines with spaces, and replace multiple spaces with one space, by default.]

The first sample soup boils down easily to a clean 8-glider synthesis of a caterer, which I believe is a new record:
