All patterns that repeat in 10 or less steps under evolution according to rule 30. In each case the initial conditions consist of a fixed block of cells that is repeated over and over again. Note that there are no initial conditions that yield a repetition period of exactly 2 steps. To get period 11, a block that contains 275 cells is required.
