Despite being composed of two oscillators of smaller period (4 and 5 respectively), it is considered non-trivial because it has a single cell that is alive in generation 1 and is dead in its other 19 phases.

Generation 1 reveals the single cell with period 20 (in green)
gollark: Why would I be at "aldi" in the next 86000 seconds?
gollark: ↑
gollark: It was Christmas 110 seconds ago.
gollark: It is not Christmas.
gollark: But ignoring that.
