The 7773 seventeen-bit still-lifes.

Due to space limitations, these are shown on a separate page.

The 4067 seventeen-bit pseudo-still-lifes.

Unfortunately, due to space limitations, these cannot be shown here.

The 199 seventeen-bit period-2 oscillators:

Due to space limitations, these are shown on a separate page.


The 484 seventeen-bit period-2 pseudo-oscillators:

Unfortunately, due to space limitations, these cannot be shown here.

All but two of these ( two versions of bipole on tripole) can be synthesized using the same techniques which are used for smaller oscillators and still-lifes.

Syntheses for three of these are shown here:
17b PP2
