Here's a conjecture: Every infinite oscillator has a period that is a power of 2.
(I'm kinda hoping this is false.)

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 37, rule = B3/S23

Is this counts?

Code: Select all

x = 3, y = 1, rule = B1357/S1357:T5,1
obo!

Code: Select all

x = 10, y = 1, rule = B1357/S1357:T15,1

Is an infinite oscillator an almost oscillator in the sense of LifeWiki?
Still drifting.

Yeah, I think that counts as a counterexample.

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 37, rule = B3/S23
