Talk:Loaf

The (beehive, loaf, mango) progression is just one example of a common relationship between still-lives:

...    ....    .o..
.o.    .oo.    o.o.
o.o -> o..o -> o..o
o.o    .o.o    .o.o

Others that follow this pattern are the hat->loop->11-loop, hungry hat->snorkel loop->13-snorkel loop, and small ghost (xs16_35s2s53zx1)->ghost (xs17_39mkicz321)->big ghost (xs18_39mkia4z321). I think the sentence about this relationship should be kept on the page.

Fair enough! Is there a name for this progression? If it's a common thing it might actually warrant its own page as well. Apple Bottom (talk)

I don't see the point. This is the first time I've heard of the (beehive, loaf, mango) progression. Its occurrence in other objects like hat->loop->11-loop and others was practically never commented on, except possibly by one editor back in 2013. The progression is neither linear nor infinite, and I'd say I would never have associated the beehive, loaf and mango with each other in this manner had this discussion not occurred.
