      The authors give simple, completely bijective proofs of the \(q\)-binomial theorem and Heine's \({}_2\Phi_1\) transformation. Since all identities on basic hypergeometric series can be built out of these two fundamental identities, any basic hypergeometric identity can be proved bijectively, at least in theory, by building bijections out of these fundamental ones. The authors describe how this building process can be accomplished.
