For natural numbers m and n, the segment [m+n] contains [m], and j maps to m+j bijectively from [n] onto the rest of [m+n]; so each k in [m+n] lies either in [m] or is m+j for exactly one j in [n], namely j = k - m.

For every , and . The map , , is a bijection.
Every lies in exactly one of the sets and , the latter being the set of values of the map of the clause shift. If lies in the second set, then , , , and is the only with .
