I need to intervene here and point out that Bundy's System of theory (BS theory) has little to do with Larson's Reciprocal System of theory (RS theory). As pointed out in an earlier post by daniel, you will not find SUDRs, TUDRs, "Larson Cubes," etc., in ANY of the published works of Dewey Larson or the papers on the Reciprocal System. Please bear this in mind as you are discussing things, as it can cause a great deal of confusion for other students. The reason you are having difficulty in communication is that you are both operating from different premises, using the same words to mean different things.

The main issue with that definition is that the "direction" changes within a "unit of scalar motion", which IMO is disallowed by FPs.
I thought that we've agreed that aspect's "direction" can change only at the boundary of the unit - not inside of it.
You are correct; Larson distinctly specifies that a change of direction can only occur at the end of a "unit" of motion. That being the case, vibrations are
square waves, not sine waves. Sine waves only occur as the shear strain of opposite rotating systems--Nehru's birotation. (There are many articles in
Reciprocity discussing this.)

When Larson was calculating the value of unit of time from the Rydberg frequency, he wrote that a full cycle consisted of two units of motion, going as far as expressing the Rydberg frequency in
half-cycles per second.
You may have misunderstood this... the outward motion of the progression is always present, constituting one "unit" of motion. A direction reversal constitutes the second. In this understanding (described in
New Light on Space and Time), the minimum "unit" is always two "units" of motion.
I quote "unit" because I believe the "box of speed" concept is detrimental to understanding a universe of
motion... you do not have blocks of 1 MPH that you stack together to make a car move. All it is, is a quantized increase/decrease of speed.
Every dogma has its day...
