IMHO, a reflection is a change of direction of a straight beam, so it's not applicable to Herschels, Bs, etc, only to spaceships traveling in straight paths.

roolif

You could argue that the signals are sub-lightspeed, it's just that the signal corresponding to each glider is actually the first one that wouldn't appear if it weren't there. I do think "dependent glider loop" is a good clarification to make, though

It's not a question of speed, it's just that ...

Sure, a nice OT Heisenburp. But these OneTimers lack the mechanism/circuitry to reset the bait fast enough to keep detecting signals in the channel. Ideally the recovery should be as fast as the fastest rate allowed by the channel

You are right, that p2 family qualifies as assym/statorless, I forgot. I also forgot to mention explicitly the phase. But the symmetry of those two jumps to the eye, don't u ?
