Nactation Question

I'm fairly new to Nactation, so you'll want to wait for Nack's confirmation, but it looks like everthing is fine except for the B (Both) family and lower case g (Gremlin).

bar/23 13/11(2) 6/4 belongs in the underlined G (Gremlin) family. That's because it moves checkers in the ratios far:down:jump:inside = 1:2:0:1.

  • Far = bar/23
  • Down = 13/11(2)
  • Inside = 6/4
It looks like you have already found the tables for the Nactation of Doublets, so I suspect this is only a typo on your part. The play you nactated G makes the 9pt, while this play makes the 11pt. Because the 11pt is farther from the 6pt, bar/23 13/11(2) 6/4 = g (lower case, underlined g).

On second thought, I'll bet you included the underline, but the brower is having trouble displaying it. When I zoom in to 300%, I can see the underline!

In the B (Both) family, distance from the 6pt is also the tie-breaking criterion. Two plays make the 9pt. They are ranked first and second in the family. First place goes to bar/21 13/9, because the blot destination on the 21pt is closer to the 6pt than the either of the blot destinations for the play bar/23 24/22 13/9. Thus, bar/23 24/22 13/9 = b. The play bar/21 13/11(2) ranks third because it makes the 11pt. Blot destinations are not relevant. It gets the italicized capital letter B.
