Nine is an unstable pattern that appears as a part of many other patterns. It can be attached to various patterns to form still lifes. It can also be hassled to form oscillators, e.g. confused eaters.

By itself, nine evolves into block and glider after one generation.

As a still life component

A green background indicates that the object the nine is added to is stable without it; a red background indicates this is not the case.
