As to whether it will have any use like a Rich's p16, that remains to be seen.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to reduce any other low periods using this, as the spark is too close to avoid destroying the oscillator. p240 can be easily done using a pentadecathlon, but it looks like the p48, p80, p96, and p144 pages won't need updating unless I'm missing something. Either way, massive congrats to Rob Liston!

You are definitely missing something.

No; the evolution intrudes into the region where a sparker would have to be applied.

It would work if we have a super-twodotspark-fountain.

A note on attribution - I found the p6 and p8 agars (via SAT solver), and noted

AGreason wrote:both the p6 and this one (the p8 moreso) give the impression of a background with vertically-propagating disturbances, which may be suggestive of a way to make arbitrary even-period phoenix agars

blinkerspawn noticed that those vertically-propagating disturbances were, in fact, behaving according to a XOR rule and the pattern overall was a stripe oscillator XORed with a simple background pattern (Scorbie noted that said background was, in fact, tiled barberpoles), and then a variety of people (myself, blinkerspawn, wildmyron, scorbie, possibly others) have been expanding on that since.
