A stream is a line of identical objects (usually spaceships), each of which is moving in a direction parallel to the line, generally on the same lane. In many uses the stream is periodic. For example, the new gun produces a period 46 glider stream. Here, the period of a moving stream is often defined as either the number of generations it takes for an arbitrary region to repeat. or the The stream produced by a pseudo-random glider generator can have a very high period.
