Small period-5 oscillators
(Redirected from Smallest period 5 oscillators)
All known period-5 oscillators (not counting stator variants) that have one phase of less than 29 "on" cells. It is confirmed that pseudo-barberpole is the smallest p5 oscillator.[1]
Signatures are the population counts for the oscillator, sequenced so that the lowest numbers appear to the left. The first signature number has three digits to facilitate sorting when a table includes larger oscillators. Signature numbers are used to break ties in oscillators of nearly the same size.
