Yet a third variation on the theme of symbolic de Bruijn matrices is actually a numerical matrix, whose purpose is to merely count counterimages, not to display them in some form. This final variant on Eq. 8,
gives an alternative definition of the de Bruijn matrix which in turn is decomposed into a sum
by defining
Still using Rule 22 as an example, 0.30em
Summing (rather than counting) the matrix elements again reveals seven counterimages.
