Highest volatility period-3 oscillators

From LifeWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

All known period-3 oscillators with volatility of at least 0.8. (Currently, however, all included here are seminatural except for the statorless one.)

In describing, analysing and comparing them, it may be useful to reference the stag, a p3 oscillator working in b34zs23-a, whose "antlers" arise frequently in these Life oscillators.

Notes

  1. Note that due to its standard variant's barberpole-like ends, there is also a trivial dimer from two of it joined together
