Is this octomino? I didn't understand descriptions on wiki page.

This is an octomino. See polyomino.

[dvgrn]

This is an octomino. See polyomino.

Not only that, but T=1 of the pattern you posted is an octomino that converges to the same evolutionary sequence as the standard two-glider octomino. The standard octomino (upper right, below) is a grandparent of the one in the p162 torus oscillator, but the T=161 phase in the oscillator has a different predecessor instead, an 8-plet (upper left, below).

... I originally wrote "octoplet" instead of "8-plet", which I think is technically correct but it looks way too easy to confuse with "octuplet".
