Any jump operator will have a "preferred direction";
the sign of the jump changes if you swap the + and - cells.

These are all the same, it's just where you place the signs:

def normal_jump1(u, n):
    return dot(u('+') - u('-'), n('+'))

def normal_jump2(u, n):
    return dot(u('+'),n('+')) - dot(u('-'),n('+'))

def normal_jump3(u, n):
    return dot(u('+'),n('+')) + dot(u('-'),n('-'))
