A self-inductor is a pattern divisible in two or more components, whose only interaction is to suppress the birth of new cells along some row or column. Such a pattern will possibly, but not necessarily, have a reflection axis running along the seamline.
Any half of a self-inductor can be stabilized by a row of wall cells.
Some well-known self-inductors with connection widths in parenthesis:
Self-inductor still lifes
- Table on table (4)
- Bookends (3)
Self-inductor oscillators
- Pulsar, quasar, etc. (3,3,3 - in 2 directions)
- Achim's p4 (3,3,7)
- Harbor (4,4 - in 2 direction)
- Scot's p5 (7,5)
- Hebdarole (3)
- 38p7.2 (4,4,4,4,5,5,5)
- Tumbler (3,5,3)
Self-inductor spaceships
- Barge 2 (5,5)
- X66 (3)
- 44P5H2V0 (3, … 3)
- 60P5H2V0 (7,7,7,7,8)
- Brain (5,5,6)
- Barge (7,7,8)
- 46P4H1V0 (3,3,3)
- Spider (3)
- Snail
- 274P6H1V0
Self-sparker
A related concept: this is a pattern divisible in parts separated by two cells, which may contact, but with all cells at points of contact instantly dying. Examples include spark coil, sombreros and 70P5H2V0.
