Karel's p15
Karel's p15 is a period-15 oscillator discovered by Karel Suhajda on December 11, 2002.[1] It consists of a period 15 rotor supported by the domino spark of a pentadecathlon. A pentadecathlon can support 2 Karel's p15s. It provides accessible sparks that can be used to perturb reactions. The p15 bouncer mechanism is an example. In the same month of its discovery, Mark Niemiec found an 18-glider synthesis of this oscillator.[2]

gollark: Well, if you replace your keyboard with a touchscreen, and assign each 10 pixels a codepoint, you can make it work!
gollark: And you'd have to drop a bunch of invalid graphs.
gollark: It would be very verbosity.
gollark: Also a graph.
