The oscillator turns upside down after 7 generations, i.e. generation 7+n is the upside down version of generation n.

Cycle matrix Det = 0

Note: Since there is no genetic flow between the two halves of the oscillator, only the left half is represented in the cycle and limit matrices.
The full cycle matrix should contain a copy of the above matrix as a block in diagonal position below and to the right of the above matrix.
Limit matrix

Note:
Here, only the generic row of the primary rotor part of the limit matrix is given, in rational and floating-point number form respectively.
Since this is a PS-oscillator (compare the Glider) the limit matrix is a Π-matrix with identical rows.
The relative genetic impact of the 7 primary rotor cells can be read off directly from the row components since the row sum equals 1. One can see that the genetic impact ordering is :
1,5,2,6,3,7,4 (strongest cells first.)
Cell nr 8 is a secondary rotor cell and has therefore zero genetic impact.
