Thus what you might call a "butterfly", someone else might call an "inward bounce". Just because it isn't the socially acceptable name, doesn't mean its wrong. In the end, with enough patience, any single poi move could be described through explanatory words.

its not *actually* renaming - its coding.
like i said before, all of this you can ignore and still play poi like before.
these ideas are all just ideas for a way to code poi moves explicitly - they will never take over as a dominant form of naming but they could make it a hell of a load easier to describe completely unambiguosly exactly what a waistwrap, ttn, fountain are and so on.

Why not allow the naming of poi moves to be like this. Thus what you might call a "butterfly", someone else might call an "inward bounce". Just because it isn't the socially acceptable name, doesn't mean its wrong.

`I don't know what you mean by "glory,"' Alice said.
Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. `Of course you don't-till I tell you. I meant "there's a nice knock-down argument for you!"'
`But "glory" doesn't mean "a nice knock-down argument,"' Alice objected.
`When _I_ use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean--neither more nor less.'
`The question is,' said Alice, `whether you CAN make words mean so many different things.'

Building a scientific formula for moves immediately puts limitations on what people will learn
Quote:And what about all the notes between the standard notes of the octave?
You have x,y and z planes to spin on. What about all the infinite other planes you have in between them?
Laugh while you can, monkey-boy
Quote:
question: most "new" moves stem from the evolution of a spinning concept beyond it's boundaries into a further expanse or layer of complexity, so how can you do more than simply perfect the moves that exist and possibly find combinations that you hadn't thought of yet?

btw what you guys are talking about is not a matrix (self replicating structural system) but more akin to algorithmic formulas (set of symbols defining a mathematical action)

and *sigh* i've given up the discussion of poi technicalities because it seems there will never be any agreement that will actually help
