I-heptomino

I-heptomino is the name given by Conway to the following heptomino. After one generation this converges to the same evolutionary sequence as the H-heptomino.

The longest-lasting active region is the standard evolutionary sequence of a Herschel, at the bottom of the pattern.

In the following examples, on the top, there are two six-cell polyplets that follow the I-heptomino sequence. The one on the left becomes the I-heptomino itself, while the one on the right follows a slightly different sequence. On the bottom, there are two houses with one cell removed each; both follow the I-heptomino sequence.
