Unnamed patterns are referred to using a descriptor.
For oscillators, the format of the descripter is #p#. The first number denotes the smallest amount of cells in any generation; the second denotes the period. For spaceships, this is extended to #p#h#v#. The third and fourth the horizontal and vertical displacement of the ship, relative to its initial position.
In either case, objects that would ordinarily be assigned the same descriptor may be distinguished by appending a period and an index, e.g. 28P7.1 and 28P7.2.
