189: 84: 74: 53: 179: 158: 485:"To each glide plane, infinitely many different glide reflections belong, because to each glide vector listed in column 3 any lattice translation vector parallel to the glide plane may be added; this includes centring vectors of centred cells. Each resulting vector is a glide vector of a new glide reflection but with the same plane as the geometric element. Any of these glide operations can be used as a 'defining operation'." 22: 441:
for now. This page (Glide reflection) has a 'too technical' tag at present and (I concur) is difficult to follow. If it is the same concept as Glide plane then I can’t tell, and dumping the Glide plane content into this article won’t make it any easier to read. A better option would be to improve

relative that is the only living organism to demonstrate such an orientation to its segments, and this article is written in such sophisticated text that it's difficult to get a good quick grasp of the definition. And I hesitate to edit it because I'm afraid I don't understand the content well

PS: I also note the text states Glide reflection is a 2D function while Glide plane is 3D; and that Glide reflection is in three maths categories while Glide plane is in Crystallography and Symmetry. So I’m not convinced they are the same thing at all.

is confusing. From what I can tell skimming around the academic literature, "glide reflection" is the operation, and the "glide plane" is the associated (hyper)-plane. For example, from International Tables for Crystallography (2006). Vol. A, Ch. 1.3:

Welcome to Knowledge, the online encyclopedia wherein very smart people compete with others like then to demonstrate their deep familiarity with many bafflingly complex fields of endeavor, to the exclusion of the so-called "average reader."
545:: Thanks for the notification (sorry for the lateness in replying); I think your additions to the Introduction here make the connection between glide plane and glide reflection much clearer, so your merge makes sense. Regards, 521:
Noting that you were opposed to this merge before, does the merger seem okay now, or do you still have concerns? I cleaned up at least the lead section, though the rest is still a bit rough and incomplete.

The symmetry observed is not exactly bilaterian, but appears to be a glide reflection, where opposite segments are shifted by half an interval.
