Merzenich's p31 (or 48P31) is a period-31 oscillator found by Matthias Merzenich on November 5, 2010, being the first oscillator of this period to be discovered.[1] In terms of its 48 cells, it is currentily the smallest known period-31 oscillator. It first appeared semi-naturally on May 11, 2015.[2]
It is capable of reflecting gliders 90°, as shown below.
