RULE OF ALTERNATION
The practicality of applying the Rule of Alternation is more useful when it relates to alternate waves rather than adjacent waves. In a five-wave structure, Wave 2 can be expected to alternate with Wave 4 in at least one of the following ways:
- Pattern of construction
- Time of formation
- Strength and depth of formation
When Wave 2’s formation is a complex correction, Wave 4’s formation can be anticipated to be simple. (See Figure 4.26.)
When the formation of Wave 2 is a simple correction, Wave 4’s formation can be anticipated to be a complex pattern. (See Figure 4.27.)
