Re: StateInvestigator: Extend The Oscillator (game)

StateInvestigator: Extend The Oscillator (game)
Then…we'll get "extend the oscillator (game)" thread. We'll start with the stator/predecessor of an oscillator. Extend the stator by adding extra cells (not states 8/9/12/13/14) to it to increase the period of the oscillator. Try to keep it interesting (i.e. avoid using period multipliers or LCMs)....

Note: an oscillator is in its canonical form if the stator contains no state 1 cells and the casing contains only state 5 cells. x = 1697, y = 3220, rule = StateInvestigat...
