The π-image of any ''k''-step interval (abelianized slice) {{nowrap|ab(''w''[''i'' : ''i'' + ''k''])}} is identical to that of {{nowrap|ab(''w''[''i'' : ''i'' + ''k'' + ''mn'']).}} Hence there is a well-defined map from pitch-class group elements to {{nowrap|ℤ/''mn''ℤ.}} We thus wish to constrain ways of labeling {{nowrap|[0 : ''m''] × [0 : ''n''],}} an {{nowrap|''m'' × ''n''}} grid, with {{nowrap|ℤ/''mn''ℤ}} elements such that
* {{nowrap|'''v''' {{=}} (1, 0)}} is consistently the π-image of a ''k''<sub>'''v'''</sub>-step interval of ''w''
* {{nowrap|'''w''' {{=}} (0, 1)}} is consistently the π-image of a ''k''<sub>'''w'''</sub>-step interval.
