When setting or breaking psi's, by anagramming to develop the
psi prime streams, a "breaker" may work out long stretches of plausible
texts which are actually wrong. The following "curios" are noteworthy:
De X:...........J H F T T H Y Z 9 I E 5 A V I B
Phoney P:...............8 8 9 G E H E I M 5 5 A A
Phoney PSI':............K K T K T T U U U O S S G

Psi Breaking by Hand
Psi breaking is obviously not different in its initial stages
from psi setting: for in psi setting, it is necessary to "break" stretches
of psi prime to match them against the known psi wheels. Psi breaking
merely requires that more and longer stretches of psi prime be broken,
since no aid can come from being given known psi patterns. Stretches of
psi less than sixteen characters can not usually be projected forward
or backward by multiples of the psi wheels without losing by the
resultant stagger.
Of all the "de-chi days" broken by Newmanry since February,
Testery has failed to break the psi's on only four.
