:: I know Gene prioritized going deep on the ideas over making them broadly accessible, and I respect that. But now we can take the gifts he did give us and just massage them a bit so their value opens up to more people (and that's what I've been trying to do full-time for almost a month now). The page is becoming much clearer to me now, thanks to the recent help from Flora and Inthar. But I still don't have any idea what's going with the middle paragraph, the monzo part. Can we just remove it? What value does it have? It's meaning or purpose are not clear to me. Mostly, probably, because mechanically I still have no idea what's happening. Tenney-weighting's purpose isn't explained and it's not linked anywhere, and I can't find a straightforward explanation of what it is on the wiki. I can see some similar patterns. But I still don't know what these e numbers are (and what their relationship to the m numbers is). And I don't understand what it means for J to become something other than what it is, or how that could be val of all 1's. Can anyone help explain those things, or if the answers to them are beyond the scope of this page, add some links to give the reader who lands on this page navigate closer to the bedrock where they might eventually be able to decipher what they're reading? --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 18:14, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

::: I also don't understand the article right now, but let's see if someone is willing to make it even more accessible for non-mathematicians. So I wouldn't suggest to remove anything by now. Thanks so far for Flora and Inthar. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 11:37, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
