This is my first stab at a continuous AI loop. The idea is to establish a strong link between the first two 4's on row 3, deleting the 4 in column 9:
(1)r1c7 - r3c8|r7c7 = (8)r7c7 - r7c9 = r3c9 - (8=39)r3c58 - (39=4)r3c6 - (4=1)r3c2 - (1=49)r12c3 - (4=3)r8c3 - (3=7)r8c4 - (7=9)r8c8 - (9=3)r3c8 - (3=1)r1c7 => -4 r3c9 ; stte

This works okay as long as you are proceeding from l-to-r to reach a conclusion. However, the only time that I rely on bidirectional AIC logic is in continuous loops. Your secondary eliminations fall apart when read r-to-l; e.g., ... (9=3)r3c8 - (3=1)r1c7.
As long as you use network logic, I suggest that you stay clear of continuous loops.
You might also want to spend some time examining your solutions and see if they can be shortened.
