Chapter III - The Kajos in Budō #5 - Law n°4 (四法): yonkyo-tenchi nage
It is not the yonkyo immobilisation that is presented here, but the fourth law illustrated by the yonkyo immobilisation, which is why O Sensei is careful not to write immobilisation: 之ョ第四法ト稱ス

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.
