Meta-Move
A move that consists of several individual moves done as one, to
move from state to a derived state. Some of the Freecell test and all of
the Simple Simon tests generate meta-moves.
Move
A one-time displacements of cards from stacks to stacks, from stacks
to freecells, or from freecells to stacks. Also contain some special
moves such as those for canonizing stacks, and separators. Also see Move
Stacks.
The above quote is from
http://fc-solve.berlios.de/arch_doc/fcs_arch_doc/c338.html .
A web page titled "Freecell Solver -- Architecture Document" and
containing the sub-heading "Terms used throught the Code".
I mis-interpreted the overlapping use of the word "move" in these two
definitions to mean that "meta-move" is the same as a "sequence move".
I guess that I should have read
http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~shlomif/freecell-solver/USAGE more carefully.
