Torus

A glider travelling on an 8 × 8 torus

A torus, as it applies to Life, usually refers to a finite Life universe (i.e. one of the bounded grids) that takes the form of an m × n rectangle with the bottom edge considered to be joined to the top edge and the left edge joined to the right edge, so that the universe is topologically a torus. There are also other less obvious ways of obtaining a toroidal universe.

The following pattern demonstrates how diagonal and orthogonal spaceships travel in a toroidal universe.

Toruses not aligned to the grid

A torus not aligned to the grid can be embedded in a larger gird aligned torus with additional translation symmetry.
