- This article is about the 6-cell still life. For the extensible c/3 spaceship, see Barge (spaceship).
The barge is a common 6-cell still life discovered by the JHC group in 1970.[1] It is infinitely extensible, and can be seen as a long version of the tub.
Commonness
- Main article: List of common still lifes
Barge is the tenth most common still life on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue, being less common than ship-tie but more common than half-bakery. Among all still lifes with 6 cells, it is the third most common, being less common than ship but more common than aircraft carrier.[2]It is also the fourteenth most common object overall on Catagolue.
In Achim Flammenkamp's census, the barge was also ranked tenth most common, again between the ship-tie and half-bakery.[3]
Glider synthesis
All strict still lifes with a population of 21 or fewer cells, as well as all oscillators and spaceships with 16 or fewer cells, are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.
Extensibility
Barge can be infinitely extended, as illustrated by the following:
