These partitions enable a symbolic representation of the dynamics via the zip shift, an extended bilateral shift in the non-invertible setting. Inspired by Smale’s horseshoe construction, this approach generalizes topological partitions to a broader class of systems and opens new directions for studying their topological and ergodic properties.}}
