:::::: 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 it moot; my complaint which you didn't understand was that <code>BADC</code> is not a cycle, and I believe that has been clarified. I see no reason to take this discussion any further. --[[User:Dick de Bill|Dick de Bill]] ([[User talk:Dick de Bill|talk]]) 00:18, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
