I know "stingray" hasn't caught on, but what about naming it after another species of non-stinging ray since the overall shape minus the tail is similar?

Is there a timeline of each spaceship and its minimum population anywhere so I can create the long-awaited wiki articles?

It becomes mirror symmetric many times before that, which is probably also worth questioning.

Are there any independent reflectors that become dependent the second you overclock them?

Are there any pattern collections for rules such as Rotations that include known high-period oscillators and spaceships?

- verify that the oscillator's kinetic symmetry is one of the following: n.c, n.e, n.k, nrc, nrk

As a note, while every loopable pattern I've seen has some rotational symmetry, in principle loopability doesn't require any symmetry, so fully requiring this would break the script for some ...

In 4D double 180-degree rotation is the same as point reflection.it's denoted ±[C1×C1] , there's also single 180-degree rotation +1/2[C2×C2] .

I assume that in general, point reflection is isomorphic to the process of reflecting an n-dimensional object across n perpendicular planes, with the ...

An image has now been uploaded for each of the 92 distinct symmetry types. I don't know if they're all visually clear enough, especially since it's hard to position the more complex objects such that their symmetries are obvious, but this should be sufficient for now.
