A symmetrical three phases system consists of three sinusoidal sine waves with an angular displacement of 2 π / 3.
In symmetrical multi phase systems odd and even phase numbers have to be distinguished.
For a symmetrical multi phase system with m phases the displacement of the sine waves is 2 π / m.

In case of an even number of phases the aligned orientation does not add any information. Instead the m phases are divided into two or more different groups (the base systems).
The number of phases m can be divided by 2 recursively until the result is either an odd number or 2. The result of this division is called mBase, the number of phases of the base system. The number of base systems nBase is defined by the number of divisions, i.e., m = nBase * mBase.
For a base system with mBase phases the displacement of the sine waves belonging to that base system is 2 π / mBase.

The displacement of the base systems is defined as π / nBase.
In array or matrices, the base systems are stored one after another.
For each base system of time phasors, symmetrical components can be calculated according to the idea of Charles L. Fortescue.
The first symmetrical component is the direct component with
positive sequence.
In case of mBase = 2, the second component is the
inverse component with negative sequence.
In case of mBase > 2, the components
[2..mBase - 1] are components with non-positive
sequence,
and the last component [mBase] is the zero sequence
component.
This set of symmetrical components is repeated for each of the nBase base systems.
