Trans-boat trans-line tub is an 12-cell still life.
This still life is comprised of a normally stable tub and a normally stable boat connected by a line. This is one of two possible isomers, named trans due to the corner part of the boat facing outwards from the line; the other isomer, cis-boat trans-line tub, has this corner part tucked inwards.
The closely related pattern boat cis-line tub is an induction coil, in much the same way as the integral is a still life whereas the house is an induction coil. Note that there is only one valid isomer for the cis-line arrangement, analogous to trans-boat trans-line tub, as the cis- arrangement would cause unwanted birth between the boat and tub.
Commonness
Among the 121 still lifes with 12 cells, this is the 45th most common still life according to Catagolue.
Glider synthesis
A 5-glider synthesis of this still life was found in January 2020.[1]
