Propasal - changes in MethodShapes #25

Description

@bcube2

I would like to propose the following changes at https://www.cubinghistory.com/3x3/MethodShapes

  • rename the "Oriented State" section to "Reduction" or "Reduction State" section
  • seeing that Polaris, SSC, Square 101 are already mentioned in the EOLine > Oriented State section, delete them from the Reduction section
  • add 3-Color (and potentionally Human Kociemba (mention the term "human Kociemba"? #24) and Feather´s algorithm (Computer Algorithms #21)) to the Reduction section
  • for the Reduction section, make an HTR simulator in which no edge and no corner is being solved

Reasoning behind this propasoal: all the following methods have in common the following: HTR/DR/3-color cube reduction state without any solved pieces required in that reduction state.

Thistlethwaite´s algorithm
Kociemba´s algorithm
Feather´s algorithm
HTA
3-color by M. Feather
3-color by G. Christos

No solved edge & corner pieces required in the reduction state is a distinction from the methods in the EOLine > Oriented State section in which FL and BL edges are solved. Other methods such as RUbar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbhBbrk9DrU&t=327s) also don´t qualify to be added into the Reduction section because of already solved pieces in the reduction state.

P.S. I can see a reason why you decided to avoid the term "Reduction" in the first place. My point is that to me, the above mentioned methods with the HTR/DR/3-color cube reduction states without any solved edges and corners required seem to be a different group than the Polaris, SSC and Square 101 group, I personally would not call them both "Oriented State" because one time it means FL and BL edges are solved and other time it means FL and BL edges are not necessarilly solved.

Just a suggestion. Never mind if you don´t like the proposal.
