Symmetry reduction is the identification of a unique point on a group orbit as the representative of this equivalence class. Thus, if the symmetry is continuous, the interesting dynamics unfolds on a lower-dimensional `quotiented', or `reduced' state space M/G. In the method of slices the symmetry reduction is achieved by cutting the group orbits with a set of hyperplanes, one for each continuous group parameter. Moving frames give us a great deal of freedom - we discuss how to choose a frame The most natural of all moving frames: the comoving frame, the frame for space cowboys.
