Jump to navigation Jump to search

Oscillators of each period by which cell frequency values are present. Frequency-0 cells are not counted as part of the oscillator.

Blue This oscillator is proven to be the smallest of the given type.
Green This oscillator is the smallest known example of the given type.
Yellow This oscillator may be the smallest known example of the given type; checking of other pattern collections may be advisable.
Orange It is not known whether there is a known oscillator of this type; checking of pattern collections advisable.
Red Oscillators of this type are currently unknown.
Gray Oscillators of this type have been proven impossible.
