Numbering can be done in different ways depending on the context. Outside-in numbering is used on this website. A single approach can also be expressed in multiple ways depending on the analysis context (e.g., 3-2-1 or 321 or 0|321|4).
Outside-in numbering:
Typically used for pattern analysis
Relates to the dynamic transformation of the path thread to or from its underlying mathematical topology
Begins where the walker begins
Inside-out numbering:
Sometimes used in design and construction contexts
Relates to static expressions of a type and design/construction
Begins where the builder begins
