User:Apersoma/Smallest oscillators in all automata
Jump to navigation

This is a list of the smallest known oscillators for many automata. The smallest bounding box is the bonding box of the smallest area in any phase of the oscillator. The largest bounding box is the bonding box of the largest area in any phase of the oscillator. Overall bounding box is the bonding box that is able to contain all phases of the oscillator. The smallest oscillator is considered to be the oscillator with first the lowest max number of cells, then the smallest overall bounding box. Though still lives can be considered oscillators of period 1 they are not included here.
