Wikipedia definition
1. Oscillator (cellular automaton)In a cellular automaton, an oscillator is a pattern that returns to its original state, in the same orientation and position, after a finite number of generations. Thus the evolution of such a pattern repeats itself indefinitely. Depending on context, the term may also include spaceships as well. The smallest number of generations it takes before the pattern returns to its initial condition is called the period of the oscillator.
