Undo revision 113061 by Confocal (talk): 1)fixed missing conduit name, 2)the forums post reference has been listed in the dedicated article p128 wing shuttle,3) tabulation taken out.
reinstate because since everyone seems to agree that "nine" shouldn't be a separate page, there is literally nowhere else for this to go (refer to tail)

This article is about the evolutionary sequence. For the extensible c/4 diagonal spaceship, see Wing (spaceship).
"Wing" can additionally refer to a group of switch engines which form half of a Cordership.

Wing is a common evolutionary sequence that stabilizes at generation 104 as a block and a glider. Its most common grandparent is traditionally referred to as block and glider, which is composed of two pre-blocks and has a lifespan of 106 generations. That pattern has a six-cell parent called nine, resembling an eater 1 with one tail cell missing.

Still life

Nine is a part of several still lifes, as shown in the table below.

Oscillator

A nine is hassled by two eater 1s in a period-4 oscillator, confused eaters.

Like other common evolutionary sequences, wings can be hassled, such as in the p25 wing and block hassler[note 1][note 2] and p128 wing shuttle.

Conduit

A number of conduits have been found to produce or accept a wing (abbreviated W) with reasonable clearance, such as PF35W and WFx46H. A WSW-3 conduit[note 3] can be made by eating the extra block using a block or eater 1.

Block and glider reappears 32 generations later shifted 3 cells right and 7 cells up only to be turned into a B-heptomino 3 generations later.

A pre-beehive hitting beehive reaction enters the wing sequence fairly late.

Notes

  1. ↑ Catagolue: p25 wing and block hassler
  2. ↑ An alternative version of this oscillator is shown in jslife with a different method of stabilization.[1] Nicolay Beluchenko found the simpler stabilization with two fumaroles later on.[2] However, it is unknown when or by whom this reaction was found.[3]
