Sawtooth 633 is an orthogonal sawtooth with expansion factor 11 that was found by Dean Hickerson on May 15, 1992. Its population in generation t = 36(11ⁿ) - 37 (n ≥ 1), is 7(t+1)/30 + 746, but the population in generation 12(11ⁿ) - 51 (n ≥ 1) is only 635 if n is even or 633 if n is odd. It uses a spark from a period 9, speed c/3 orthogonal spaceship that was found by David Bell, to turn a lightweight spaceship into a loaf, which is then pulled back by pairs of lightweight spaceships. When the loaf is pulled all the way back, it gets deleted and the cycle begins again. The deletion is caused by an interaction with a lightweight spaceship and with 3 gliders which would otherwise form a lightweight spaceship.

If something is placed in the path of the c/3 spaceship far away from the guns, it is likely that a loaf will be formed and pulled back when the beam of lightweight spaceships hits the resulting garbage. No matter where the loaf starts, when it reaches the guns it will be deleted by one of 3 different reactions. The block behind the spaceship is used for one of these reactions; it s not needed for the sawtooth pattern itself. The beam of lightweight spaceships will again be released and may eventually form another loaf. The process may be repeated many times until either the lightweight spaceship beam burns through the garbage or the reaction moves upstream and consumes the guns.

The number of alive cells plotted versus the number of elapsed generations roughly forms an ever-increasing sawtooth graph.

gollark: The secret service immediately explodes.

gollark: Imagine making software for people.

gollark: Can you just run all the UI stuff in one thread somehow?

gollark: Although what I do is store the SSG and sources on my laptop and `scp` over the finished output when I make changes.

gollark: I would say b).
