Due to space limitations, these are shown without syntheses on a separate page, with syntheses for 130 of them.
Due to space limitations, these are shown without syntheses on a separate page.
All but seven of these can be synthesized using the same techniques that are used for smaller still-lifes and pseudo-still-lifes. These and 55 other specific examples are shown here.
Due to space limitations, these and their syntheses are shown on a separate page.
Due to space limitations, these are shown without syntheses on a separate page. All of these can be synthesized using the same techniques that are used for smaller pseudo-oscillators and pseudo-still-lifes. Syntheses for 14 of them are shown here.

Mono- gram; Initials; JHC [15] | Up mold on table [10] | Down mold on table [10] |
Monogram (whose name is derived from the fact that it resembles the letters JHC, the initials of John Horton Conway, the inventor of Life), while it has no sparks, can be used as a sparker oscillator in some circumstances, because it can delete blinkers.
Fumarole [7] | Silver's P5 on python [23] | Silver's P5 on eater [24] | Silver's P5 above eater [12] |
The Fumarole is the smallest oscillator that produces a period 5 domino spark.

All of these have a pseudo-period of 6, a composite of 2 and 3.

Beacon on penta- decathlon [6] |
This has a pseudo-period of 30, a composite of 2 and 15.
LWSS on LWSS [7] |
This has a period of 4 and an orthogonal velocity of c/2. It moves two cells up every 4 generations.
