Paperclip (or drain trap[1] or S[2]) is a 14-bit still life.
It contains a photonegative Z-hexomino.
Paperclip is the sixteenth most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than aircraft carrier but more common than long ship.[3]. It is also the twenty-second most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.[4]
Because it usually forms from specific predecessors, the difference in frequency in asymmetric soups compared to C2_2 (the symmetry the object has) is small, although not negligible. Similarly, in rules that support the object but not its predecessors, such as HighLife, it is much less common.
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.
