Disjoint tuples left and right: a fuller picture

Extending the concept of disjoint tuples to the left allows to connect the two types of bridges series.

The figure below contains the calculation starting from m=1, 5 and 7 (black), using a single framework.

Parallels can be drawn between blue-green bridges and yellow keytuples series. If they do not merge in the end, the former keeps a series of blue pairs and the latter two yellow bridges series.
