Boring p24 (or trans-pulsar on figure eight) is a period-24 oscillator composed of a pulsar and a figure eight.

Despite being composed of two oscillators of smaller period (3 and 8 respectively), it is considered non-trivial because it has two cells that are alive in one generation and dead in the other 23, and two more otherwise period-8 cells that are alive in one additional generation.

Commonness

On Catagolue, it is the most common period 24 oscillator, being more common than the similar uninteresting p24.[1]

The boring p24 first appeared naturally on August 27, 2015, in a soup found by Brett Berger.[2] Before this, symmetric figure-eight-on-pulsar variants had appeared only semi-naturally.[3]

gollark: Per socket metadata is not avaialble.
gollark: It's per message.
gollark: `local channel, message, metadata = skynet.receive(channel or nil)`
gollark: `skynet.send(channel, message, table of metadata)`
gollark: Oh, hey, I did add it but forgot.
