Two elements are added in each step, be it two lines, two arcs or one line and one arc.

The '=' sign moves to the adjacent position in a CW direction in each step. The symbol at the ACW-end position in fig. (A), moves to the adjacent position in an ACW direction in each step and gets replaced by a new symbol in first, third, fifth, ... steps. The symbol at the CW-end position in fig. (A), moves to the adjacent position in an ACW direction in each step and gets replaced by a new symbol in second, fourth, sixth, ... steps.

In each step, the symbols move in the order and the symbol that reaches the upper-left position gets replaced by a new one.

The symbols move in the sequences and alternately.

In each step, all the elements move to the adjacent corner (of the square boundary) in an ACW direction. Also, the elements that reach the lower-right and upper-left positions get vertically inverted alternately.

In each step, all the existing curves get inverted and one of the line segments gets converted to a curve.

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

In the first step, the V sign moves half-a-side of the square boundary in an ACW direction; in the second step, the black circle moves half-a-side of the square boundary in an ACW direction and in the third step, the triangle moves half-a-side of the square boundary in an ACW direction. The three steps are repeated to continue the series.

The pin moves 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, .... spaces CW sequentially. The arrow moves two steps ACW each time.

In the first step, the elements interchange positions in the sequence . In each subsequent step, the elements move in the sequence obtained by rotating the previous sequence through 90 ^oCW. Also, in each step, the element that reaches the encircled position gets replaced by a new element.
