Achim's p144 is a period-144 oscillator that was found (minus all the blocks) on a cylinder of width 22 by Achim Flammenkamp on July 21, 1994. Dean Hickerson reduced it to a finite form using figure eights the same day. The neater finite form shown here - replacing the figure eights with blocks - was found by David Bell on August 8, 1994.[1]
It first appeared semi-naturally on May 2, 2019, in a symmetric soup submitted to Catagolue by carybe.[2]
Ian07 reduced the glider synthesis of this oscillator to 13 gliders in December, 2019.[3] This was reduced further to 11 gliders with wwei23's observations on February 28, 2021.[4] A 10-glider synthesis was found by Carson Cheng in July 2023.[5][6]
See factory for a use of this oscillator.
On October 16, 2021, iNoMed found a new "production line"[7] variant of this oscillator which can be used as a powerful active-region factory,[8][9] as well as to reduce several glider guns with period 144n.[10]
