Cycles

Temporal behavior is revealed by the de Bruijn diagrams, but the de Bruijn submenu also contains a provision for calculating spatially periodic configurations. By using the cycle option, y, within the limits of memory capacity and reasonable running time, all the periodic configurations of a given width can be enumerated. They are displayed on a separate screen which overwrites the de Bruijn screen.
