A cutting guide establishes a reference length for another section. It may stay in one place or move through the haircut. The existence of a guide does not imply that every section will finish at an identical length.
Japanese and Western barbering systems can describe guides in different ways while using them for similar purposes. If you are curious, ask how the chosen reference supports the intended silhouette. A longer corner or a fuller back may be deliberately preserved through the way sections relate to that guide. Understanding this makes technical discussion more useful and avoids confusing precision with the idea that every part of the head must be cut uniformly.
