Let me try my hand at this:
Quote:
1) Two elements are contiguous if the degrees of freedom between them is zero (i.e. when power is not applied, given the orientation and position of one element it is possible to compute the exact orientation and position of the other element).
2) Any elements that are both inside and outside the frame boundary (i.e. reaching across the frame boundary) must be contiguous.
3) Any elements outside the frame boundary must not extend outside of the boundary formed by extending the frame boundary 14" perpendicularly outward and rounding any resulting vertices with radius 14"
4) Any element crossing the frame boundary must form an angle of no more than 90 degrees with any other element that crosses the frame (measured from the centroid of the frame boundary)

The language could be cleaned up (especially in points 3 and 4), but I think this covers all of the situations that have been discussed.
