  1. Dec 5, 2023 · At the turn of the millennium, only twelve oscillator periods remained to be found in Conway's Game of Life. The search has finally ended, with the discovery of oscillators having the final two periods, 19 and 41, proving that Life is omniperiodic.

  5. Jan 18, 2024 · John Conway’s Game of Life, a famous cellular automaton, has been found to have periodic patterns of every possible length. This pattern in the Game of Life repeats itself after 41 steps. Its recent discovery ends a decades-long quest to show that Life is omniperiodic. DVDP for Quanta Magazine.

  6. Dec 13, 2023 · This cellular automaton has since become known as Conways Game of Life and famous for the extraordinary complexity that emerges within it. This computational universe is home to beacons that flash, pulsars that beat time and “gliders” and “spaceships” that fly across the computational sky.

  8. The discovery of 208P41 proved Conway's Game of Life to be omniperiodic because no period-41 oscillator had been discovered before! Oscillators of all other periods had either been discovered, of proven to be possible. For periods 62 and above, oscillators can be constructed using the Herschel loop. Which is basically a stream of gliders being ...
