New Period 5 Oscillators

3 P5s (10000)(10100)(11010) Earlier, Nicolay Beluchenko pointed out that only 3 of the 6 possible state combinations for the top cell on the line of bilateral symmetry of a "P5 squirter" type oscillator were known, as shown to the right. The sequences are—

(10000)
(10100)
(11000)
(11010)
(11100)
(11110)

3 P5s (11000)(11100)(11100) Dean Hickerson has found the three missing sequences. The three new Period 5 Oscillators are shown to the right.
