It really depends on the state of the cube. If I found a floating 2e2e earlier, I will break into the 2e2e since that will leave it at an even target and same number of algs. If the odd target is flipped and I previously saw a single floating flip then I’ll combine the flip with the odd target. If I’m close to the end and I suspect that there’s a floating cycle then I’ll add UR, like the fourth example in the video. If it’s the very first target of the solve and I still have no information, I usually just weak swap. If it’s close to the end but I think there isn’t a floating cycle based on the number of targets and pieces already solved by the scramble, I’ll just break into a new cycle.
wait so is js tracing just dlin tracing but then you assign pairs of 2 swap cases their own letters? how would you js trace FR->RB->RF and FL->LB->LF? how do you encode the buffer being FR in this case?
Not exactly, dlin as I understand it will find only closed floating opportunities and backtrack the memo to incorporate them. JS tracing will find all floating opportunities with no backtracking. It will also find open floating cycles which dlin would classify as “not a floating opportunity”, and float there as well to save additional words. It can also float for flipped cycles and save a word if there is another flip or another flipped cycle on the cube. But yes, in the case of open cycles I use the method I described to make 2 swap cases have a specific word assigned to each of them! If I understood correctly, I would memo BR-RF and BL-LF. These cases would be similar to the first example I gave, and I’d do the tracing in the same way!
@@randomcubestuff3426 Yes, closed cycles is when you can use a normal floating alg to solve the cycle. Open cycles is when there is an extra target in the end. The second and third examples in this video would be examples of open cycles!
How would you memo floating after an odd target from your main buffer?

@@joelstyle wdym by open cycles? is that like an even number of pieces in the cycle
