- This article is about the aperiodic pattern using Corderships to bounce gliders back and forth. For glider loop oscillators, see Adjustable glider loops.
Glider loop (or simply loop) is a pattern in which two gliders are bounced back and forth between two ever-retreating 7-engine Corderships. This same glider-bouncing reaction can be seen in sawtooth 362.[1]
As gmc_nxtman pointed out in January 2018, a 2-engine Cordership can reflect a glider 180 degrees while preserving its mod-4 timing,[2] giving an updated version of glider loop:
