This random soup appeared in the Catagolue and generates a p22 oscillator:

Code: Select all

x = 16, y = 16, rule = B3/S238

It came from a search by Eric Goldstein. Other highlights are the huge predominance of pulsars (a pi-heptomino will naturally evolve into a single pulsar in this rule) and a weird p2 (a 4-by-4 square with two opposite corners removed):

There's already a topic on this rule here. The p22 oscillator is known from soup. It will be interesting to see what differences there are from regular life when even more soups have been run.
