RHY.7:5.2 - The same pattern under two allocations

A constructed controller must produce four attacks at positions 0, 2, 4 and 6 of an eight-unit cycle. Its supplied mechanism specification requires at least three units between attacks by the same actuator. Treat that limit as an input to this calculation, not as a general physiological fact.

One actuator receives a gap of two units between every pair, including the cycle boundary; the proposed allocation conflicts with the supplied limit. Alternating two actuators assigns 0 and 4 to one, 2 and 6 to the other. Each then has four units between its own attacks, satisfying that particular constraint.

The onset pattern is unchanged while the allocation comparison changes. The result is a compatible allocation under the stated limit, not a claim that an untested device or human performer has achieved the rhythm. RHY.9 arranges the remaining rhythmic actions and timing cues; use MDPE.3 if the wider performing configuration must change.
