Sawtooth (cellular automaton)

In a cellular automaton, a finite pattern is called a sawtooth if its population grows without bound but does not tend to infinity. In other words, a sawtooth is a pattern with population that reaches new heights infinitely often, but also infinitely often drops below some fixed value. Their name comes from the fact that their plot of population versus generation number looks roughly like an ever-increasing sawtooth wave.

The first sawtooth in Conway's Game of Life was constructed by Dean Hickerson in April 1991 by using a loaf tractor beam. For a number of years the least infinitely repeating population of any known sawtooth was 262 ON cells, attained by a sawtooth found by David Bell on July 9, 2005. This record has been improved several times starting in 2010, most recently when a discovery by Tanner Jacobi allowed the construction of sawtooth patterns with 213 and then 201 cells.
