Schematics of relative orientation of applied shear stress, τ=t−(t·n) n, where n and t are unit vectors denoting the normal to plane containing slip systems i,i′ and i″, and the loading orientation, respectively. a\(S_{i} = S_{i^{\max }}\) corresponding to rightmost boundary of blue data points in Fig. 4b; in this case system i experiences slip-driven (i.e. regular) multiplication. b\(S_{i} - 0.5S_{i^{\max }}=0\) corresponding to the boundary between blue and red data points in Fig. 4b; in this case multiplication on system i is minimum. c Si=0 and \(S_{i'}=S_{i''}=S_{i^{\max }}\) corresponding to leftmost boundary of red data points in Fig. 4b; in this case slip-free multiplication on system i can occur
