In each step, one line segment is lost from the CW-end of the outer element and a new line segment appears at the ACW-end. Also, the inner 'L' shaped element rotates 90 ^oCW in each step.

In each step, all the elements move to the adjacent corner (of the square boundary) in a CW direction and the element that reaches the upper-left corner gets vertically inverted.

The symbols move in the sequence in the first step. In each subsequent step, the symbols move in the sequence obtained by rotating the previous sequence through 90 ^oACW. Also, in each step, the symbol that reaches the encircled position gets replaced by a new one.

In the first step, the ACW end element moves two spaces (each space is equal to half-a-side of the square boundary) in an ACW direction. In the second step, the CW-end element moves three spaces ACW. In the third step, the remaining element moves four spaces ACW. The three steps are repeated to continue the series.

All the elements move half-a-side of the square boundary in ACW direction in each step. Also, first, third and fifth elements are replaced by new elements in one step and second, fourth and sixth elements are replaced by new elements in the next step. The two steps are repeated alternately.

We can label the arcs as shown . The arcs get inverted in the sequence (1 & 2), (3, 4 & 5), (6 & 1), (2, 3 & 4), (5 & 6),...........

The elements move in the sequences and alternately. Also, in each step, the symbol that reaches the encircled position, gets replaced by a new symbol.

In one step, all the elements get vertically inverted and interchange positions in the sequence . In the next step, the elements interchange positions in the sequence and the third element gets vertically inverted.

Three elements (encircled in-the figures below) rotate through 90 ^oCW in each step. This rotation takes place in the following sequence : This sequence is repeated to continue the series.

In each step, all the existing arcs get laterally inverted and a new arc is added which is oriented in a direction opposite to that of the last added arc. The arcs are added at various positions in the following sequences :
