Chapter III - The Kajos in Budō #4 - Law No. 1 (一法): shiho nage - ikkyo
A rule seems to emerge which is this: for the irimi principle to be manifested, all Aiki techniques must be executed by moving in four square steps. This is the meaning of the ideogram 方 in 四方 (shiho), and shiho nage is simply an application that illustrates this general rule particularly well.

"When the opponent's sword rises, you must clearly imagine within yourself the line (direction) that will guide the momentum of your attack – straight or diagonal, according to your choice." Morihei Ueshiba - Budō

Chapter III - The Kajos in Budō #3 - Law No. 3 (三法)
O Sensei does not write sankyo (三教), nor does he write third pin as it has been translated into English. Instead, he writes 之ラ第三法ト稱ス: this is called the Third Law.
Shiho nage
Tenchi, kokyu, kaiten, kaeshi, and shiho are technical principles present in every Aikido technique. Every Aikido technique must respect all of them in order for the unique principle of irimi in Aikido to be a reality.

Without kaiten, without rotation, tenchi is ineffective; without tenchi, rotation is ineffective.
