It's a seriously endangered species in the crowded environment of #D the rule's characteristic dynamics, so we have isolated our oscillating bug, #D named Bosco, in its own MCell experiment. #D #D Practice your MCell skills by verifying that Bosco is indeed periodic, #D and compute the exact length of its period. Playing with Step Size, you #D should be able to complete this exercise within a minute or so. #D #D David Griffeath #L 29.A$27.5A$25.5A.AA$24.5A3.AA$24.4A5.A$23.4A5.3A$24.4A3.3A$24.5A.4A$ #L 25.8A$26.7A$27.5A31$A
