- #C Subject: slight modification, smoother growth
- #C
- #C I found that by moving one of the stretchers over and advancing it a
- #C generation, you can get smoother growth -- each stretcher is out-of-phase
- #C with its opposite. In fact, the population starts at 550, 9 cells lower
- #C than Hartmut's original filler, and NEVER decreases; it never even
- #C increases less than 13 cells in a generation...
- #C
- #C (sorry that it's flipped sideways from Hartmut's original message)
- #C
- #C Population growth for this filler is:
- #C (1/4)(n+26)^2 + 381 for even n
- #C (1/4)(n+26)^2 + 381.75 for odd n
