#D Jaws, a switch-engine based quadratic growth mechanism.

#D The population roughly follows the equation
#D p = (5.167e-6)t^2 + 2.72t + 1000.
#D
#D If you can't see the pattern, that's probably because
#D it is too large and sparse, and most Life programs at
#D the time of this writing are not powerful enough to
#D view it.
