Braille Cell Surface Orientation Permutation

Mirror an explicitly supplied six-dot Braille cell between front and reverse surfaces using standard 1-2-3 left and 4-5-6 right dot order, without decoding text.

Description

Permute six supplied dot flags under a reverse-surface policy.

Accessibility records distinguish requested support, recorded barriers, display choices and measured local geometry. Six-dot permutations depend on array orientation, angular text size depends on viewing geometry, and playback speed changes nominal runtime. These operations do not establish accessible communication, consent, legibility or compliance for an individual or environment.

Permute six supplied dot flags under a reverse-surface policy.

When to use this tool

Use Braille Cell Surface Orientation Permutation when you already have dots, reverseSurface and need to permute six supplied dot flags under a reverse-surface policy.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter dots, reverseSurface. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read orientedDots. Use the output convention below.

Require exactly six Boolean entries; for reverseSurface=true return source positions [4,5,6,1,2,3], otherwise copy the flags.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • This swaps the two three-entry columns in the supplied order and differs from a half-turn. No Braille decoding, embossing direction or readability is verified.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Review the person's recorded preferences and actual resource or route with the complete accessibility requirements. Test the relevant output and physical arrangement directly; a display token, scalar clearance or nominal playback ratio does not verify suitability or access.
