I'm pretty sure that stabilization implies a cyclic population.
Can you find a source to support that?
A reasonable source is the Life Lexicon definition of "methuselah", which lists seven example methuselahs, none of which produce final patterns that are stable in the sense of being period 1 ...

One thing we do need to settle is whether to limit size based only on population size (with some added clause to clear up the blinker+glider)

The problem is that I can't think of anything that I think of any thing that solves the blinker+glider-esque issue, apart from limiting bounding box.

As far as I know no two people agree on the same definition for methuselah. The purpose of this thread is to establish a formal agreed upon definition.
I propose:
A Methuselah is a pattern witch fits in a 20 by 20 Bounding box that takes more than 1000 generations to regularize, it can (but dosent ...
