Loop variables are discussed in relation to whether photons can form closed flux lines. The consensus is that photons are not lines of force or flux, and they do not form loops as they travel. The conversation touches on the concept of a photon leaving a trail, but this is clarified as a misunderstanding of wavelength diagrams. A reference to a "Photon Mobius Strip" is made, yet it is concluded that while polarization can exhibit Möbius-like characteristics, photons themselves do not circle or form closed loops. Ultimately, the question about photons forming loops is answered with a definitive no.
