The conclusion seems pretty subjective. I'm not sure "Hermite decomposition" can be treated as a single operation. It's (perhaps superficially) the case in Mathematica, but not in other programming languages or math in general.

I wonder if the original author(s) of this article will do me a favor to allow me to clean it up. Otherwise I'll have to start anew.

Readability and conclusion

This article is way too hard to read than necessary. It looks more like a note rather than an article, with so much development information that's better off collected in a dedicated "history" section. The algorithms should be presented much much more concisely.

The algorithms are currently presented in Mathematica, which isn't quite easy to decode. I think it should be presented in math formula or pseudocode.

The conclusion seems pretty subjective. I'm not sure "Hermite decomposition" can be treated as a single operation. It's (perhaps superficially) the case in Mathematica, but not in other programming languages or math in general.

I wonder if the original author(s) of this article will do me a favor to allow me to clean it up. Otherwise I'll have to start anew.

Aw, dang. I'm sorry that it was hard for you to read. It feels like so long since I thought about this topic. I think it's good for it to have a new pair of eyes on it, to help balance out my own idiosyncrasies. Please feel free to take a pass on everything, improving the article how you see fit. If we can come to a consensus on how best to present it, that will be best for the community. I only wish for anyone who wants to understand this stuff to have good resources for doing so. I'm glad you're interested in the same stuff! --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 17:32, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Well I changed my mind. I decided to leave the contents of this dev-note- and research-style page as is, and start anew at Saturation, torsion, and contorsion/Methods, since what I actually want is an encyclopedic article that is suitable for reference. I'm taking the liberty instead of moving this page to something like Research on defactoring algorithms. FloraC (talk) 09:35, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
