As you know, oscilirators consist of stators and rotors; rotors are cells which oscilirates with a period, stators aren't.
I noticed stators can be categorized in three categories:
1. Pseudo stators: stators which can't be substituted to other stators.
2. True stators: stators which can be substituted to other stators and nessesary to complete the oscilirator.
3. Unnessesary stators: stators which are unnessesary to complete the oscilirator; essentially still life pattern attached to true stators.
And I define a term 'rotorly identical': oscilirators which have exactly same rotors. For example, a blinker and a bipole.
I think this categorization will make better pattern searching algorithm.

Re: The three categories of stators
I don't know about any "pseudo stators" but here's an example of the other two.
1=rotor
2=unnecessary stator
3=true stator
1=rotor
2=unnecessary stator
3=true stator
Code: Select all
x = 12, y = 11, rule = LifeHistory
