Boss is a period-4 oscillator found by David Buckingham in 1972.[1][2]

Its population can be reduced by four cells by replacing the S-pentominoes on the sides with period-2 flutters.

x = 11, y = 14, rule = B3/S23 5bo$4bobo$4bobo$3b2ob2o$2bo5bo$bobobobo$3bo3bob2o$2obo3bo$3bobobobo$2b o5bo$3b2ob2o$4bobo$4bobo$5bo! #C [[ THUMBSIZE 2 THEME 6 GRID GRIDMAJOR 0 SUPPRESS THUMBLAUNCH ]] #C [[ GPS 2 THUMBSIZE 2 ZOOM 14 AUTOSTART ]]
