Trans-snake on bookend or down snake on bookend[1] is a 13-bit still life which involves a snake stabilising a bookend.
This specific isomer is named trans due to having a larger bounding box, as the two "ends" of each island effectively point away from each other. Since the snake is a stable pattern by itself, the term on is used rather than and.
As a catalyst
A single bookend is sometimes used as a catalyst.[citation needed] As the bookend alone is not stable, it has to be stabilised, and a snake on bookend is the smallest way to do so. Whether this isomer is useful in that aspect is unknown.
Occurrence
- See also: List of common still lifes
Trans-snake on bookend is the 41st or 42nd most common 13-cell still life out of 240.
Glider synthesis
All strict still lifes with a population of 23 or fewer cells, all oscillators with 16 or fewer cells, and all spaceships with 35 or fewer cells are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.
