Trans-skewed poles is a period-3 oscillator, and one of thirty-nine with 18 cells. It is composed of two individual "skewed pole" units in a rotationally-symmetric arrangement.

Two individual skewed poles can instead be arranged with mirror symmetry to produce cis-skewed poles.

Occurrence

Main article: List of common oscillators

This is one of four 18-cell period-3 oscillators which is yet to occur naturally.

Glider synthesis

All strict still lifes with a population of 23 or fewer cells, all oscillators with 16 or fewer cells, and all spaceships with 35 or fewer cells are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.

All period-3 oscillators up to at least 18 cells have a known synthesis.
