Siteswaps is possibility how to notate moves in sequence.
Its comming form "ball siteswaps". In ball siteswaps is the
most important the height of the ball. In Poi siteswaps we
take two basic sides and beats that Poi makes on each side.
Beat (Wikipoidia)
"Moves can be counted in terms of beats, where the number of
beats is the number of revolutions each individual poi does before
coming back to its initial position. "
Families and moves:
11 - Parallel wheel plane
22 - Low turn
22 - Figure 8
33 - Weave
22 - Low wave
22 - Wind mill
22 - Corkscrew
02 - Butterfly
22 - Low wave
04 - Thread the needle
22 - Mexican weave
22 - Horizontal mexican weave
02 - Split time butterfly
04 - Split time threade the needle
Siteswap bracing:
We use bracing to diferentiate moves in sequence.
(22)11(22)11(22)11(22)11
Figure 8 > Cross over > Figure 8 > Cross-over
333333
Weave > Weave > Weave
22(02)20
Mexican weave > Butterfly > BTB Butterfly
Sitewaping:
Classic: 22113322(22)22
Offset: (52)(25)
Buzzsaw: 020 (only buzzsaw as central plane has 3 numbers)
Reels: 22
Weave: 221133(22)22
Figure 8 > Cross-over > Weave > Figure 8 > Figure 8
Hints:
"You cant number moves exactly, but you can write there beats for easier imagination."
"What only you need is to know which family you are in and what moves you want to do."
There is only left or right

only saying this cos a interested in what your getting at and there no way am going to figure it out from that post.

b) There is balance between
c) Move is set of beats
d) Moves ar separated by braces

Examples of what exactly? Weaves I guess...
Anyway, I've been inspired to work out a system, have worked out the sequences for a whole bunch of stuff, just need to find a good notation for it. But I'm off out clubbing now, so it'll have to wait

A system that would look like a music partition, and where each number would be a poi figure ?
So it could be played by robots ?!
Okay, calming down the geek inside...

Spiralx > Example of every move you put inside. (about anti spin,basic one is 11 cause your hand stay in the same plain doing big circles in split time and Anti-spining is technique(with degree) you are using. )
JohnVenture > Yes. Michal Kahn may have robots
but, no.
