  In a recent paper, we showed that groups admitting "veelike actions" on a
finite language embed in mapping class groups of certain two-sided subshifts.
In this note, we illustrate this theorem for the embedding of Thompson's $V$ by
exhibiting the piecewise linear local rules for the embedding. These turn out
to split the embedding into the mapping class group, showing that $V$ even
embeds in the mapping class group by homeomorphisms.
