where represents the new force measurement projected into . Then, can be compared with any suitable distance metric to each predetermined command codes that exist within to see if matches one of the predetermined command codes. This analysis may take the form: 

where is the identified command and is defined as the maximum distance a particular command code can be away from a point for that point to be classified to that particular command code. The smaller the value of , the fewer points that will be classified to that particular command code. In this way, accidental command triggers may be avoided. For example, one command code, such as a lessening of a force on the right thumb, may be been manually defined. The projected data from may then be compared to the manually defined command code and classified using the Euclidean distance metric such that when a force measurement is sufficiently close to the manually defined command code, that force measurement is classified as that command code. The remainder of the force measurements may be classified as not containing command inputs.
