Notable exceptions to this rule are the horizontal lines flow. Note that in the example shown in Figure A-4 there is beneath control blocks and between sections of shift registers and counters.

Application of dependency notation is accomplished by: 1. labelling the input affecting other inputs or outputs with the letter symbol denoting the relationship involved followed appropriately chosen identifying number, and 2. labelling each input or output affected by the affecting input with that same number.
