Therefore, the transfer structure is defined as the wreath product:

TranslationsOw Rotations

where Translations is the fiber group (corresponding to the side) and Rotations is the control group (transferring the side). This will now be defined rigorously, as follows:

The translation group (generating the side) will be denoted by the additive group R . The rotation group is Z4 , the cyclic group of order 4, which will be represented as

Z4 = { e, r90, r180, r270 }

where rh means clockwise rotation by h degrees. We now construct a regular wreath product of these two groups. The construction will use the terminology of section 6.

The group Z4 will be the control group, G(C) , and the control set will be the set C of four side-positions around the square:

c1 = top, c2 = right, c3 = bottom, c4 = left.
(8)

The control action of Z4 on the set {c1,c2,c3,c4} will correspond to the clockwise rotation of the four side-positions onto each other.

The translation group R will be the fiber group, G(F ) , and the fiber set will be the infinite line F containing the finite side as a subset. This is mathematically and psychologically an important concept, as will be observed shortly. The fiber action of R on the fiber set F will be the obvious translation of the infinite line along itself.

For each of the four members c of the control set C , make a copy of the fiber action. Thus there will now be a set of four copies {Fc1,Fc2,Fc3,Fc4} of the fiber set, called the fiber-set copies, indexed in the control set C . These will be the four lines that contain the four finite sides as subsets. This structure is illustrated in figure 4.

Corresponding to the four fiber-set copies, there will be four copies {Rc1,Rc2, Rc3, Rc4} of the fiber group, called the fiber-group copies, also indexed in the control set C . Each fiber-group copy (translation group) will act on its own ”personal” copy of the fiber set (infinite line). One can now define the regular wreath product:

R wO Z4 = [Rc1× Rc2× Rc3× Rc4] Os Z4.
