| Source and contribution | Adoption and limit |
|---|---|
| Nelson, Solkattu Manual, Introduction, pp. 2–3 | The account connects spoken patterns with recurring hand references and distinguishes spoken from played realization. It informs :4.2 and :4.4. The book explicitly resists a simple one-syllable/one-stroke identification; the method keeps the actual convention and training contribution. |
| Takadimi Basics and Teaching with Takadimi | The position-based syllable convention supplies :5.1; coordinated pulse and voice illustrate a reading procedure. This is a particular convention, distinct from Nelson’s treatment, not a general theory or an empirical guarantee of instruction quality. |
| Salaris, Abe and Laumond, A Worked-Out Experience in Programming Humanoid Robots via the Kinetography Laban, 2016, §1 and pp. 346–348 | The worked connection distinguishes a score’s action constraints from detailed human or robot motion and exposes the control-space contribution. Adapt that distinction in :4.3–.5. The earlier robotic demonstration supplies a constructive anchor, not a claim that any score automatically yields feasible robot motion. |
| Guerreiro, Amaral and Goulão, Unleashing the Power of Sound, 2023, §§III and VI.D–E | Adopt the question of audible discrimination and context into :4.3. The UML sound study measures bounded preferences and perceived relevance, with limitations in baseline choice, sample and setting; it does not establish general comprehension, multi-representation integration or universal sound meanings. |
Choosing a form for the same operation. In :5.1 the reader must locate and shift two onsets within a beat. Compare a static position grid with a sounded score, for a reader who knows the syllables and can count the four positions. The grid already answers the question and remains available for inspection. Keep it when that is the whole task; adding voiced practice would cost effort without improving this answer. A familiar convention also needs no extra account when its references and reading operations are already available to the reader.
For following the onsets during a performance, both a retained grid and a sounded score still need a way to keep place in the beat. Here we adapt Nelson’s recurring reference and Takadimi’s positional reading into :4.2 and :4.4: maintain the reference, locate each occurrence and retain or replay the parts needed for the next operation. This repairs the case in which a sign legend identifies syllables but leaves their positions unavailable. It does not require a new symbol vocabulary. A prepared reader may maintain the reference while reading the grid; a sounded or embodied form is preferable only when its coordination benefit warrants the added perception or practice. Those costs are the accepted trade-off, not a demonstrated general learning advantage.
The beat calculation in :5.1 shows the information gained from the reference; it does not compare human performance speeds. The source table supplies the limits of transferring this reasoning to movement and audible interfaces: a recovered instruction still needs its performer method, and preferred sounds need not improve interpretation. Reopen this choice if a simpler available convention supports the same operation and timing with less burden, or if the chosen reference or reading procedure fails under the receiving conditions.
The synthesis uses these different practices to expose recurring design operations; it does not merge their symbol systems. A position syllable, a stroke-associated syllable and a motion sign can carry different relations. Reopen the construction when a relevant contrast is not perceptible, a reader lacks an assumed operation, a new realization cannot supply the omitted work or a receiving use needs a previously unexpressed relation.
