Suppose Q = (α, β, γ) ≠ R = (α, β’, γ’) are the two k-steps in S that project to P. Then T = (α’, β’’, γ’’) projects to I. Here the values in each component differ by at most 1, and α ≠ α’. Either β’’ = β or β’’ = β’. Assume β’’ = β’. Then γ’’ = γ.

The cyclic words Λ<sub>1</sub> = the pattern of α and α’, Λ<sub>2</sub> = the pattern of β and β’, and Λ<sub>3</sub> = the pattern of γ and γ’ must form mosses. By way of illustration, the chain of k-steps might look like this in S: | ||
