The tripole is the barberpole of length 3.
Commonness
The tripole is about the fourteenth most common naturally-occurring oscillator in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than quadpole on ship but more common than mazing.[1]
Glider synthesis
Martin Grant improved the previous 7-glider synthesis to 6 gliders on June 23, 2017.[2]
gollark: Oh, and unrelatedly, apparently UK food supply chains are very close to failure (it is already bad enough that there are significant gaps on shelves). Fun!
gollark: Why? We could replace the important ones.
gollark: I would feel happier if we just removed all microorganisms ever.
gollark: Like the backward eye arrangement in humans, and that misrouted nerve.
gollark: Intended? It seems like another of those evolutionary quirks which are somewhat bad, but also local maxima which can't really be moved away from.
