* A.2.i. Each slice/occurrence of the (perfect) generator in the template MOS ''T'' contains a certain number of '''X''' steps, and the imperfect generator occurs only at one position. Call the unique imperfect position ''p''. | * A.2.i.

* A.2.ii.

* A.2.iii. We know from MOS theory that letter counts in ''k''-steps (for any fixed ''k'') differ by at most 1. Assume, possibly after taking the equave complement, that the imperfect generator has one ''more'' X: the imperfect generator has {{nowrap|(''i'' + 1)-many}} '''X''''s, and {{nowrap|(''j'' - 1)-many}} '''W''''s. | * A.2.iii.

* A.3.ii. Scooting the slice ''I'' to the right yields {{nowrap|''I''<sub>''R''</sub> :{{=}} ''T''[''p'' + 1 : ''p'' + 1 + ''k'']}}.
