Cha cha[1] is a period 2 muttering moat[2] oscillator, the long extension of clock.

Commonness

Main article: List of common oscillators

As of July 2023, this is one of thirteen 16-cell oscillators which are yet to arise naturally from an asymmetric soup on Catagolue.[3]

In a somewhat unique case, on July 11, 2022 Charity Engine found a symmetric soup (in the symmetry C2_2) that produces this oscillator in an asymmetric manner, and the two halves of the soup do not interact throughout the evolution of the soup. As a result, by using the same seed for a C1 soup, an asymmetric soup producing cha cha can be made, making it ambiguous whether or not this oscillator qualifies as "natural".[4]

Glider synthesis

A 23-glider synthesis was found by Martin Grant in early December 2013.[5] Later a 12-glider synthesis was found by Goldtiger997 in April 2019.[6]
