Here are the few specimen entries for the Android Makers Encyclopedia "X, Y, and Z " topics:

     Sorry, nothing identified for "X" yet.

     YETS; Yellow ELASTIC tissues where the elasticity is equivalent to muscle power (such as in the adjacent arches of vertebrae or in the foot). This is like the energy supplied by rubber bands or springs. The "shorthand" used for the androtic equivalent for this is "YETS." [Gray, p.217]

     zy An anthropometric point of the face used by Farkas to describe the geometry. This is the a point below and outside of the eye where some face planes coincide. There are two of these because of the right and left sides.

The coordinates of these two points are; since the exact functions are not determined as of :

[fn X(zy,R), fnY (zy), fnZ (zy)] and [fn X(zy,L), fnY (zy), fnZ (zy)]

WHERE:
     fn X(zy,R) and fn X(zy,L) are the functions left and right spacings of the face expressed in a plus (+) and minus (-) dimensions for the respective side of the face. This is about ½ of the measurement or determination for the spacing. Of course, inequality between the absolute values of the right and left side could simulate human asymmetry.

     fnY (zy) is a function using the desired body overall height as a factor. Some of the other facial height ratios and measurements are expected to be terms or factors within the final function yet to be determined as of . Of course, inequality between the right and left side could simulate human asymmetry.

     fnZ (zy) is a function using certain factors, among them being head depth calculations, measurements, or other determinations. The exact expression is undetermined as of . Of course, inequality between the right and left side could simulate human asymmetry.
