Carrier siamese dock is a 14-cell still life.

Occurrence

See also: List of common still lifes, List of still lifes with 14 cells

Carrier siamese dock is the 135th most common still life on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue, being less common than barge siamese loaf but more common than shift-mirrored bookend. Among all still lifes with 14 cells, it is the 17th most common, being less common than trans-bun bridge loaf but more common than shift-mirrored bookend.[1]

Formation

Carrier siamese dock typically forms via an active region hitting a loaf. The active region is too small to be included in census.rle but has almost 200 occurrences in octo3obj, placing it near the equivalent of rank 100 in census.rle.

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.
