= RANDOM SOUP STATISTICS =


I created a (super) program to search through random 8 by 8 soups, find oscillators, and sort them... Automatically! This allowed me (or it) to search through many more results, hence achieve better accuracy in frequencies of each object. It even found a couple of new strange objects!


"Side Objects" are objects which are found on the side of the life board, and cannot exist in the centre. Such objects were counted, but have yet to be named...


And here are the results!


Initial random states (50% on): 11000

Empty result: 52.9%, 5819

Results with more than one object: 89
