Such advantages and disadvantages are denoted by the terms, viz.:
| +T. | Signifies the absolute advantage in Time, i.e., the ability of an army, a grand column, a wing or a corps d’armee to move, while the opposing force must remain stationary. |
| -T. | Signifies the absolute disadvantage in Time, i.e., the obligation of an army, a grand column, a wing, or a corps d’armee to remain stationary, while the opposing force is in motion. |
| +N. | Signifies the absolute advantage in Numbers, i.e., the larger number of corps d’armee. |
| -N. | Signifies the absolute disadvantage in Numbers, i.e., the smaller number of corps d’armee. |
| =N. | Signifies the equality in Numbers, i.e., the same number of corps d’armee. |
There are six forms of the Tactico-Logistic Inequality, viz.:
| 1. | +T+N |
| -T-N | |
| 2. | +T=N |
| -T=N | |
| 3. | +T-N |
| -T+N | |
| 4. | -T+N |
| +T-N | |
| 5. | -T=N |
| +T=N | |
| 6. | -T-N |
| +T+N |
INITIAL STRATEGETIC EQUATION
The Initial Strategetic Equation is made up of those terms which compose the Strategic Syllogism and the Tactico-Logistic Inequality, viz.:
| (+A+S+M) + (+T+N) - (-A-S-M) + (-T-N) = the Normal Motif and Direction of Effort. |
RULE
1. Set down in parenthesis those terms of the Strategic Syllogism which appertain to White.
