As the name suggests, this section of analysis will focus on data that is purposely spread between multiple forms of the system. This is possible because American Kenpo forms are purposely designed to have the forms build upon each other, with each new form expanding upon the data of lower forms, while also exploring new information and themes at the same time.
This structural feature has many advantages, but also necessitates a certain degree of understanding the forms as a whole, rather than just a stand-alone unit, without ties to the other forms. Because of this design, it is also necessary for an analysis section such as this one to exist. The information presented in this section is intended to expose such information, and will limit its scope to this form's relationship to other, lower forms in the system.
And, like the intra-form analysis section, this section will purposely omit specific information that might be considered a detraction and/or distraction from this section's overall purpose. Although this information is excluded from here, one should not draw the conclusion that this information is not important nor should not be included in one's own analysis. To reiterate previously written sentiments, this act was deliberately done in an attempt to make the work more accessible to the reader and shorten the information to a more manageable length.
Note: Any term that one sees and is not familiar with throughout the entirety of this analysis section may usually be referenced in "The Encyclopedia of Kenpo".
