Consider the following stable secondary cohomology operations associated with the relations in the mod 2 Steenrod algebra:

such that

Let ψ5 be a stable tertiary cohomology operation associated with the above relation. We assume that (ϕ4, ϕ5) and ψ5 are chosen to be spin trivial in the sense of Theorem 3.7 of [14].

Let ϕ0,0, ϕ1,1 be the stable Adams basic secondary cohomology operations associated with the relations:

respectively.
