<p><a name=jaws>:</a><b>Jaws</b> A <a href="lex_b.htm#breeder">breeder</a> constructed by Nick Gotts in February 1997. In the
original version Jaws had an initial <a href="lex_p.htm#population">population</a> of 150, which at
the time was the smallest for any known pattern with
<a href="lex_s.htm#superlineargrowth">superlinear growth</a>. In November 1997 Gotts produced a 130-cell
Jaws using some <a href="lex_s.htm#switchengine">switch engine</a> <a href="lex_p.htm#predecessor">predecessors</a> found by Paul
Callahan. See <a href="lex_s.htm#switchenginepingpong">switch-engine ping-pong</a> for the lowest-population
superlinear growth pattern as of July 2018, along with a list of the
record-holders.
<p>Jaws consists of eight pairs of switch engines which produce a new
block-laying switch engine (plus masses of junk) every 10752
generations. It is therefore an MMS breeder.
