Cascade Loop

Definition

A runaway circuit — a bilateral Cascade Lock where both directional cascade weights are at or above 0.9. The cascade reinforces itself in both directions (A→B and B→A), meaning each side's pressure on the other amplifies the return pressure. Loops are the most severe stage of cascade interaction and a subset of Locks identified by the bidirectional weight threshold.
