Let the argument of increase by along a counterclockwise path enclosing both branch points. On a large circle, the branch chosen in part (a) satisfies
The change in the primitive is consequently
Equivalently, this is the composition of the two reflections described by the monodromy of the complex inverse sine. Thus, for this orientation,
The reverse orientation gives . Both continued values invert the same , so on an open set of inverse values. The identity theorem extends this equality to every , proving the periodicity of the complex sine:
