This section describes how elements (8-, 16-, or 32-bit data or a 4-kiB page) are ordered in the container. In other words, this section describes how the path of incrementing virtual addresses is mapped in the container.
Regardless of the mode, and hence the element size, the sequence for ordering the elements in their related container is strictly similar and depends only on the related orientation. In other words:
A corollary to the previous statements is that in a given mode the internal structure of an element is unchanged regardless of the orientation. In page mode for instance, the offset of a word inside a page is invariant by orientation; the content of a page is always accessed in the same manner.
In the following sections, the natural container orthonormal basis is referenced as:
and the oriented orthonormal basis is referenced as:
