4 Phantom Interlocked Blocks
Working in a 4x4 matrix, each person works in their own block.

Bill's 4 Phantom Interlocked Blocks definition
3 x 1, 1 x 3, n x m
Divide the formation into 2 3x3 groups. One 3x3 group has 3 real people, and one 3x3 group has one person who is the center of the 3x3 group. Do the call 3x3, and then remove phantoms if possible. The 3 by 1 Concept (Sue Curtis)
3 x 3, 4 x 4, n x n
Stolen from The 3 x 3 Concept: To apply the 3 by 3 concept to any call, it must be possible to pair up all the dancers doing the call so that each pair has a common facing direction at the beginning and end of the call, and goes through the same turning motions while dancing the call. To create the 3 by 3 version of the call, replace each such pair with three dancers facing the same direction by adding a new dancer between the original two. The new dancer goes through the same turning motions as the original two dancers and remains between them throughout the call.

3 x 3 replaces groups of 2 dancers with groups of 3 dancers.

The 3 x 3 Concept (Sue Curtis)
<fraction1> and <fraction2>
Do the first <fraction1> of the first call and the last <fraction2> of the second call.

(<formation>) (Reverse) (Single) Rotate <n>/4
Shamelessly stolen from Vic Ceder's definitions:
  1. Identify the center point of your setup: flagpole center unless:
    • If you are in a 2 x 4 formation and are in Lines, the center point is the Center of each Box (i.e., work Split).
    • If Rotate is preceded by the term Split, then divide your formation into two equal subformations. The center point is the Center of your subformation. From a 2 x 4, Split means to divide the setup into two 2 x 2s, not two 1 x 4s.
    • If Rotate is preceded by the name of a formation in which to work, the center point is the Center of that formation.
  2. Turn 1/4 relative to the center point:

    Reverse RotateAs Couples 1/4 To Reverse Promenade
