Professor is a 46-bit still life consisting of two mutually stabilizing induction coils.
The cis-mirrored variant of this still life occured naturally from an asymmetric soup in July 2016, making it the largest still life in terms of cell population to have occurred naturally.
Variants
A number of variants are possible, depending on the alignment of the two halves and the position of the blocks:
-
cis-mirrored professor -
trans-mirrored professor -
shift-mirrored professor -
cis-rotated professor -
trans-rotated professor
