The effect on the
map of a disruptive
move capable of destroying all
mappings other than the
Rotation Mapping. After such a move, the entire
board is physically rotated about the
Great Diagonal, and the
paraboloids may become detached from the
diagonals. The meaning of this is obvious, and rather disturbing, to any seasoned player.
The primary advocate of the deliberate massive rotation was, of course, Eamon Ruttsborough, who enjoyed picking up the other players and physically rotating them at the same time.
It is from this that the English language was given the now common phrase, "Rotate on this."
