Beluchenko's p37

Beluchenko's p37 is a period-37 oscillator consisting of 4 loaves and 8 blocks hassling 8 R-pentominoes. It was the first period 37 oscillator to be found, and was discovered by Nicolay Beluchenko on April 14, 2009.[1] It was the only known unique period 37 oscillator until the discovery of 132P37 in March 2010. In terms of its 124 cells, it currently smallest known period 37 oscillator. Adam P. Goucher noticed that two of these oscillators could interact non-trivially by hassling a beehive and a block.

Matthias Merzenich found a 76-glider synthesis for this oscillator on July 12, 2009,[2] and improved it to 72 on September 9, 2013.[3]

This oscillator first appeared on Catagolue in March 2015.[4]

gollark: Usually just good *enough*, and then they get inertia.
gollark: Popular things aren't always *good*.
gollark: In short, horrible inconsistency, no design, and it's optimized for old models of doing stuff like CGI.
gollark: But if you say "PHP is worse for writing webapps than JavaScript", people will call it an opinion.
gollark: Generally if you say "PHP is better for writing webapps than Assembly", people will agree and call it a fact.
