  18. Traditional vs symmetry-mode parameters  One mode can affect many symmetry-distinct atoms. One atom can be affected by many modes.  Symmetry-modes span the same configurational space as traditional coordinates if all relevant k -points, irreps, and OPD components are considered simultaneously. Number of free variables is conserved!  The relationship between traditional and symmetry-mode coordinate systems is linear! Related by a square numerical invertible matrix derived from group representation theory.  Symmetry modes often provide the more natural/efficient basis. Even complicated magnetic structures are often described by the modes of a single irrep!
