A ternary reaction is a reaction between three objects. In particular, it is a reaction in which two gliders from one stream and one glider from a crossing stream of the same period annihilate each other. This can be used to combine two glider guns of the same period to produce a new glider gun with double the period.
| An example of a ternary reaction:[1] when a southeastward glider hits a westward LWSS, it forms a loaf and a block, which are deleted by the next LWSS (click above to open LifeViewer) |
