Turns out you can shave 2 cells off of 51P384 by replacing the eater bridge snakes with figure eights (creating 49P384):

Code: Select all

x = 40, y = 19, rule = B3/S23

Corollary 2-cell reductions to SKOPs 64, 128, and 192 (I'm too lazy to draw the supporting oscillators for 256 and 320, but you get the idea)

Pretty Spectacular PentaDeCathlon FireCloud Morphology

in bare-bones containment

Thank You for Posting !

P. S.

What would we call this without the extra Oscillator on the lower right ?

For me that osc is just an un-necessary distraction...

The Show is the PDC

Without the oscillator on the lower right, the rest is a variant of 72P119 (apgcode xp119_y3ggyc33y0c88gzy311yk11y8ooz0g8oyfca3acz23yho808oyfc871zwccyg131zyc6a8oyi66zyk33).

However, adding the p14 oscillator is far from being "an unnecessary distraction" here. The purpose of adding the p14 is to make a nontrivial least-common-multiple oscillator with period 238, which becomes the SKOP238 (the smallest known nontrivial oscillator of period 238, measuring by the minimum population), and this forum thread is specifically about SKOPs.

Thank You. I needed to know that.

Spectacular Show though, nonetheless.

I am glad to have found something I really liked in this Thread. <3 SKOPs
