Bi-loaf 2 is a fairly uncommon still life composed of two loaves.

It can occur from a rotationally-symmetric collision of two lightweight spaceships.

Occurrence

See also: List of common still lifes

It is the 114th most common still life on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue, being less common than boat with hooked nine but more common than trans-bun bridge loaf. It is the 15th most common still life with 14 cells, being less common than loaf back tie loaf but more common than trans-bun bridge loaf.

In D2 diagonal symmetry, it is significantly more common than in asymmetric soups. Compared to other 14-bit still lifes, it is the second most common; one bi-loaf 2 appears for every seventeen half-bakeries, and the bi-loaf 2 is more common than both the paperclip and big S.

Glider synthesis

All strict still lifes with a population of 21 or fewer cells, all oscillators with 16 or fewer cells, and all spaceships with 31 or fewer cells are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.
