Cis-very long hook with nine or integral with cis-hook is a 12-cell still life.

Construction

This still life is known to be constructible with 5 gliders. A 7-glider synthesis was found in March 2021. A 6-glider synthesis was found in July 2022. A 5-glider synthesis was found in March 2023. Some known syntheses can be found in Mark Niemiec's database.

Occurrence

See also: List of common still lifes, List of still lifes with 12 cells

Among the 121 still lifes with 12 cells, this is the 87th most common still life according to Catagolue.

There are no collisions in octohash, octo3obj or octo3g databases with this still life occurring in the ash.

Isomers

This still life is comprised of the normally unstable very long hook with a normally unstable nine attached. This is one of two possible isomers, named cis due to the corner part of the hook being closer to the nine; the other isomer, trans-very long hook with nine, has this corner part slightly farther.

Unlike the trans-version, the cis-very long hook with nine is the smallest way in which a hook of a given length can have a nine attached to it - shrinking the length of the hook would result in unwanted births and as such the configuration would no longer be a still life.

It can be substitutively referred to as the integral with cis-very long hook, with one pre-block of the integral sign replaced with a very long hook, however "cis-very long hook with nine" is usually preferred for this object.
