Dec 9, 2023 · A cellular automaton is said to be omniperiodic if it has oscillators of all periods. Conway's Game of Life is omniperiodic, since there are oscillators of every period, with the last found period being p41 in July 2023 .
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.
Dec 13, 2023 · This proves once and for all that the Game of Life is indeed omniperiodic. Mitchell and co’s paper describes all 43 of these oscillators along with the techniques that computer scientists and mathematicians have developed to find them and build ever more capable oscillators.
A cellular automaton is omniperiodic if there exist oscillators of all periods. Conway’s Game of Life is by far the most famous cellular automaton. David Buckingham first established a finite bound above which oscillators of every period could be built by running a signal around a specially constructed track.
Dec 5, 2023 · A cellular automaton is called omniperiodic if there exist oscillators of all periods. 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.

Life Is Omniperiodic. Copying... In the cellular automaton called the Game of Life, a configuration of cells that returns to a prior state after steps is called a period- oscillator. Prior to the year 2023, it was unknown if period 19 or period 41 oscillators existed.
