258P3 on Achim's p11
258P3 on Achim's p11 is a period-33 oscillator composed of 258P3 and Achim's p11. Although it is composed of two oscillators of smaller periods (3 and 11 respectively), it is considered non-trivial because it contains a single cell that is alive in generation 21 and dead in the other 32 phases of the oscillator. It was discovered by Noam Elkies on June 25, 1997 and was the first period 33 oscillator to be found.[1]

gollark: And consciousness is too poorly defined to mean anything much anyway.
gollark: Wrong. It isn't the issue.
gollark: People assume quantum computers are magic do-anything boxes, that regular computers "can't be random", that AI is "incapable of creativity" or might randomly become "conscious"/"sentient"/humanlike and rebel, etc.
gollark: Perhaps people just don't actually care much about accurate beliefs in subjects they don't personally use much, and vaguely assume that whatever they know about those things is right enough to discuss politics and whatever.
