- This article is about the aperiodic pattern using Corderships to bounce gliders back and forth. For other uses of 'glider loop', see Glider loop (disambiguation).
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:
