P5 Oscillator from WinLifeSearch

[RamenGuy217]

I was using WinLifeSearch to find oscillators/spaceships, and I found a P5 oscillator pattern that hasn't been found before. Code:

Code: Select all

x = 35, y = 13, rule = B3/S23
3b2o25b2o$b4o25b4o$2o10bo9bo10b2o$2obo6bo2bo2b3o2bo2bo6bob2o$2b2o2b3o

2o2b2obo$2ob2o7bo9bo7b2ob2o$3b3o23b3o!

Any ideas of its uses?

The oscillator is actually p4, and it can be divided into two blinkers and two of this oscillator.

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 13, rule = B3/S23
3b2o$b4o$2o10bo$2obo6bo2bo$2b2o2b3o3bo$6b2o2bo$4b2obobo2b2o$3bobo3bobo2bo$6b2obo3bo$bo5b3o$bob2o2b2ob3o$2ob2o7bo$3b3o!

It doesn't look familiar to me, but it possible that that individual part is already known.

The left parts (of the independent p4, not the entire pattern in the first post) are known; they are halves of 20P4. I don't recognize the right parts.

In general oscillators that are not extremely exciting discoveries (like new periods) should go in the oscillator discussion thread rather than in a new topic

Tip: use code tags instead of viewer tags, as they take up less space.

Alright, thanks!
