Talk:Commutator
Addition of commutator GIF
I change PI to PN for consistency reasons. I got rid of the table because it is now extraneous. However it is commented out in the raw text of this talk page in case you want to re-include it.
Circular17, I don't want to mess with your work and make large changes, but I think the part that is directly above the gif and reproduced below is not longer needed. I think in this case "a picture/animation says a thousand words"

We notice that N A and N B are used as temporary storage :
- The content of the intersection, PN, is first hidden by A in its storage N A, and comes back with A', so that the only transformation applied to these pieces is B'.
- The content of N A' is brought by A, and is then hidden by B in N B, so that the only transformation applied to these pieces is A.
- The content of N B' is brought by B, and then is placed immediately in N A' by A'. So the transformation applied to these pieces is B A'.
In other words, all the commutator does is :
- PA goes A
- PB goes B A'
- PN goes B'

That being said, I think what might be really helpful is if below the animation, we talk about a "real life example". I'll see if I can put something together.Dave3457 (talk) 15:18, 28 November 2012 (EST)
