  3. #C Subject: New sawtooth
  4. #C
  5. #N Orthogonal sawtooth with expansion factor 6
  6. #C Population is unbounded but does not tend to infinity.  Its graph is
  7. #C a sawtooth function with ever-increasing teeth.  More specifically,
  8. #C the population in generations  t  near  28*6^n  is about  t/5  if
  9. #C t  is odd and about  3t/20  if  t  is even, but the population in
  10. #C generation  14*6^n - 84  (n>=2)  is only 610.  (Even more
  11. #C specifically, the population in generation  t = 28*6^n + 12  (n>=1),
  12. #C is 3t/20 + 603  and it drops to  t/5 + 647  in the next generation.)
  13. #C
  14. #C This uses a spark from a period 4, speed c/4 orthogonal spaceship,
  15. #C found by Hartmut Holzwart, to turn 2+1/2 pairs of LWSSs into a loaf,
  16. #C which is then pulled back by subsequent pairs of LWSSs. When the
  17. #C loaf is pulled all the way back, it gets deleted and the cycle
  18. #C begins again.
