(Marked) dichotomy (K/D)
10
(K/D) is a strong dichotomy, i.e., there is
exactly one (invertible) symmetry ya.xb of the
torus which exchanges K and D, i.e.,y5.x2 This
is the autocomplementarity function AC AC(0)

Proposition Among the 34 classes of marked
dichotomies, there are 6 strong classes. The
distances among the members of one half (or the
other) of such a dichotomy are class invariants
and characterize these classes
