We are reasoning about MOS concepts in the abstract here. These truths about large and small steps are true whether they are 100¢ or 4516.8¢, and all we really care about are their ratios. So if we treat our small steps’ size as 1 then we can treat our large steps’ size as equal to the <span><math>L{:}s</math></span> ratio. | We are reasoning about MOS concepts in the abstract here.
