:::::: Which is the part which states that showing a sequence of permuted states for a cycle does not or cannot represent that cycle? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 23:02, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
::::::: Literally the first sentence of the article. It says "''a cyclic permutation (or '''cycle''') is a '''permutation of the elements'''''". Meaning: <code>BA</code> is the cycle, not <code>AB -> BA -> AB</code>. Anyways, this point
:::::::: BA is a cyclic permutation of AB, but it's not a cyclic permutation of BA. It's not usually necessary to emphasize this issue, but there are contexts where it can be important. Anyways, this has drifted away from the original point which is that there's a distinction between cycles and sattalo cycles, in the sense that some cycles are not sattalo cycles. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 01:05, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
