Still lifes in Castles.

Simple

Four simplest still lifes are the domino, duoplet, block and Catagolue: this object, which can be described as "S hexaplet". They commonly occur as a result of sparsely filled soups (about 10% is good), with the S hexaplet being the rarest.

Bigger still lifes are extremely rare from random soups. There are eight objects with population of 8, but they almost never appear.

Here are some more examples. Some of the bigger ones can perhaps be classified as the smallest castles.

Stabilizing the castle outer wall

Castle usually has some stable walls and some oscillating walls. Four simplest ways an orthogonal wall can be stable are as follows:

x = 25, y = 27, rule = B3678/S135678 4bobobobobobobobobobobo$2b22o$2b23o$ob22o$ob23o$2b22o$ob22o$ob23o$2b 22o$ob22o$ob23o$2b22o$ob22o$ob23o$2b22o$ob22o$ob23o$2b22o$ob22o$ob23o$ 2b22o$ob22o$ob23o$2b22o$2b22o$4b2o2b2o2b2o2b2o2b2o$4b2o2b2o2b2o2b2o2b 2o! #C [[ THUMBSIZE 2 THEME 6 GRID GRIDMAJOR 0 SUPPRESS THUMBLAUNCH ]]

and two main ways a diagonal wall can be stable are:

x = 19, y = 19, rule = B3678/S135678 8b2o$8b2o$6b5o$6b7o$4b9o$4b10o$2b14o$2b14o$17o$19o$2b17o$3b14o$3b14o$ 5b10o$6b9o$6b7o$8b5o$9b2o$9b2o! #C [[ THUMBSIZE 2 THEME 6 GRID GRIDMAJOR 0 SUPPRESS THUMBLAUNCH ]]

Here are some weirder ways. An object looking like this would probably never occur naturally.

x = 15, y = 10, rule = B3678/S135678 4bo$bobo7b2o$o5bo2bo4bo$13obo$b12o$ob11obo$2b10obo$bob8obo$3bo2bobo2bo $3bo6bo! #C [[ THUMBSIZE 2 THEME 6 GRID GRIDMAJOR 0 SUPPRESS THUMBLAUNCH ]]

Stable castle chambers

Most of the time, 99% of the inner space of a castle is filled in, but some chambers do happen naturally. The most common ones are the anti-block, anti-tub, anti-beehive and anti-pond:

x = 25, y = 10, rule = B3678/S135678 3bo2bo2bo2bo2bo2bo2bo$b23o$b23o$3o2b3ob4ob4o2b5o$b2o2b2o3b2o3b2o4b3o$b 7ob3o3b2o4b3o$13ob4o2b5o$b23o$b23o$3bo2bo2bo2bo2bo2bo2bo! #C [[ THUMBSIZE 2 THEME 6 GRID GRIDMAJOR 0 SUPPRESS THUMBLAUNCH ]]

Here are some bigger ones.

x = 24, y = 21, rule = B3678/S135678 obobobobobobobobobobo$b22o$23o$b2o2b3ob3o2b4o2b4o$3o2b2o3b2o3b2o4b2o$b 2ob4ob4o2b2o2bob3o$3o2b2o3b8o2b3o$b2o2b3ob15o$23o$b11o3b3o2b4o$4o2b4o 2bo2b2o4b2o$b2o3b4o2b5o4b3o$3o5b10o2b3o$b4o3b9o4b3o$5o2b3o2b6o2b3o$b9o 3b11o$10obo2b9o$b10o3b10o$23o$b22o$obobobobobobobobobobo! #C [[ THUMBSIZE 2 THEME 6 GRID GRIDMAJOR 0 SUPPRESS THUMBLAUNCH ]]

Other patterns

All of these are infinitely extensible.
