_Given the Normal ability to move, to determine the Normal motif and
direction of movement._
1. Designate that army having the advantage in Time and express such
advantage by the symbol +T, express the corresponding disadvantage
in Time which appertains to the opposing army, by the symbol -T, and
such symbols will constitute the First Term of the First Phase of the
demonstration of any Prime Strategetic Proposition.
2. Express that superiority, equality, or inferiority in Numbers, which
appertains to each of the opposing armies by the symbols +N, =N,-N,
respectively; and such symbols will constitute the Second Term of the
First Phase of the demonstration of any Prime Strategetic Proposition.
3. Express the objectives designated by the plus terms of the Strategic
Syllogism, viz.:
(a) Objective of +A = Objective Plane, _i.e._, O. P.
(b) ” +S = Logistic Horizon, _i.e._, L. H.
(c) ” +M = Point of Junction, _i.e._, P. J.
and the symbols denoting such objectives will constitute the Third
Term in the First Phase of the demonstration of any Prime Strategetic
Proposition.
4. Combine those three terms which appertain to the advantage in Time,
then combine those three terms which appertain to the disadvantage in
Time, and the resulting equation when expanded will depict:
(a) The normal ability to move.
(b) The normal motif of movement.
(c) The normal directions of movement which appertain to each of
the opposing armies.
