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: Idea: what if ALL strings are to be TLDs, but you have to do some proof-of-work thing to get them?
gollark: Or apioform.expert.
gollark: apioform.services WHEN?!
gollark: Er, .org, as that's available.
gollark: Actually, octaplex.net is neat.
