Base Letters

Type 1 - Dual-Shift

Just like positions, each motion pictograph can be rotated, reflected, or color swapped. Letters are organized on the page by end position, Alpha, Beta, then Gamma. Let’s look at each type individually.

First we’ll look at A, B, and C. Their handpath is Split-Same and they move from α→α:

A · B · C: α→α Split-Same

Notice the pattern: Pro - Anti - Hybrid This pattern helps you navigate/memorize the letters.

If you only remember that A has prospins, you can infer that B has antispins. If you only remember that B has antispins, you can infer that C is a hybrid. If you memorize only one letter in each group, you know all of them.

Next let’s look at G, H, and I. Their handpaths are Tog-Same and they move from β→β:

G · H · I: β→β Tog-Same

In hybrids like C and I, either hand can execute a prospin or antispin.

Here, the right is in pro and left in anti, but it’s equally valid to swap this.
