Training background: Informal term for a visual or conceptual map of position exits.
Informal — flow chart of transitions
Transition flow chart is a colloquial name for the transition chains reference — picturing the chains as a flow chart of what follows what.
Etymology. “Flow chart” is informal imagery for the branching diagram of position-to-position moves; “transition” names the moves it charts. The label is casual, framing the reference as a visual decision tree.
Mechanics. The first connection in a transition dictates its direction: which grip or hook lands first determines which branch of the chart the exchange follows. The flow is not free — it is steered by the reconnection that opens each transition, so the chart maps the consequences of winning that first contact one way or another.
Cross-reference. “Positional chain map” and “Positional sequence reference” are sibling aliases. Full mechanical coverage on Transition Chains — What Follows What and Why.
