Tenticle's transition definitions

In the thread on inversions on HoP tenticle came up with a set of descriptions of the various "transitions" as he calls them that can describe weaves and perhaps allow us to talk about various bits and bobs a bit more clearly. I'll quote it here to save people the effort of finding it...

[quote="tenticle"]ok... so here's where i'm at with insides and inversions and stuff.
firstly, some terms...
inside: between the arms and the body
buzzsaw: between the arms
inverted: the planes are facing in different directions.

also, i number transitions in the series that they fit into, so, for a same direction split time move...
transition 0: hand on the crossed side leads to same side under other arm
transition 1: hand on the same side leads to crossed side
transition 2: hand on the crossed side leads to same side over other arm
so a normal 3bt is a 1 followed by a 1, a 5bt is a 2 followed by a 2, a 2bt is a 1 followed by a 0. there's a few others, 3 is used for 7s, -1 is the one you'd do to do a 2bt offset from a 5, etc.
if you're lost already, it's only going to get worse...

so, a buzzsaw is an inversion that you transition into with the leading poi, whilst doing the 0 transition in a 2bt.
a crossed arm buzzsaw inversion is an inversion you transition into from a 1, and does the barrel roll around the arms thing.
this also means that spinning at your sides is an inversion, but as the poi are in different planes, it's kind of irrelevant. you can also do a buzzsaw inversion from a 2 transition, but it's a right bitch not to get confused on.

then theres inversions with the trailing poi... do a 1 transition, and bring the trailing poi up between you arms (buzzsaw), over the crossed arm and lead back to the other side, then do the same with the other poi... you get a 3bt weave where the planes are always facing in different directions. from this, you can add in the crossed arms buzzsaw inversion as well, which leads me to call the 3bt inverted weave with the trailing poi buzzsawed a (1,1)3bt inverted weave, and the buzzsaw crossed arms inversion a 1 transition buzzsaw inversion, because you can get into it from any 1 transition, normal or inverted. you can also only take the leading poi up the buzzsaw zone (oo-er) and have it come back to the same side for some straightjacket type action, transition still s.j.ed and then bring the other one up buzzsaw to escape...

then we have another kind of inversion, where one poi is inside, and one is outside. try doing this: hand on the crossed side is spinning outside, hand on the same side is spinning inside, by reaching over the crossed arm. you can transition this to the other side of the body, and at the same time swap which poi is spinning inside, in a kind of 2bt weave like way... the poi on the inside each time leads to the outside, and the outside poi trails into the inside. then you can start playing with what happens to the inside poi... it can go outside for a beat, come over the other arm and go back inside on the same side, or it can transition to the other side and come up inside or outside. or it can come up buzzsaw for a beat and go back inside, or transition, or drag the other poi into a buzzsaw invert...

still with me? the upshot of all this is that you can do a 3bt inverted weave between the inside and outside on one side of the body, then transition the whole lot to the other side and do the same again, or do some other seriously weird stuff like a weave where one poi transitions outside and one inside, swap which is in and out and transition back, or something that looks like a same direction split time ttn, but is actually one going between inside and outside, and one going between outside and buzzsaw, like an antispin 2bt but without the antispin, or always have one outside, one buzzsaw, but swap outside and buzzsaw every beat. or you can do watermills (like a windmill but between outside and inside. they work like windmills more than weaves because you can't get any shoulder turning in to add beats (so they are reels really)) with inverts in. or you can do water mills with buzzsaw inverts on either end to make a madly spinning poi arm mess. or you can inverted thruwrap into the inside, swap inside and outside, inverted thruwrap back. and probably much much more, but my head is hurting.
