Reverse-process sinistral cursive in dextrads: a mirror-writing variant.
A loop executed clockwise in conventional (left to right) cursive writing is performed counterclockwise in classical (right to left) mirror writing. This rotational reversal appears integral to and inseparable from the mirror-writing phenomenon. Yet in Reverse Process Sinistral Cursive, which proceeds left to right, the rotational component escapes its embeddedness in the conventional mirror form and finds individual, overt expression. The product represents a compromise between the competing and often contradictory demands of innate rotational tendencies, legibility, continuity of movement, and conventional writing style. In dextrads, it reflects difficulty in meeting the unaccustomed demands of translating right-sided movement patterns into left-handed writing performance.
