The dove (or R-mango or R-havoc) is a simple induction coil and nonoplet.
If left to evolve on its own, it stabilizes at generation 200 as a fairly sparse formation of 3 blocks and 2 blinkers.
The stairstep hexomino, if half of it is deleted after the two halves initially separate, forms a dove in 42 generations. The dove forms a lumps of muck sequence (although through a different predecessor) in what is effectively 20 generations. This is the basis of the p124 lumps of muck hassler; 2×(42+20) = 124.
Dove-dove still lifes
As mentioned previously, it can act as an induction coil. Two doves suffice to make a still life, with five possible isomers:
A sixth still life exists in which physical connection between both doves exists:
Use in conduits
The dove is a recognized conduit object, represented by the letter D.
