If you've studied RTT extensively, you've probably encountered the terms [[Saturation|"saturated" and "contorted"]] that are sometimes used to describe mappings. These two terms each have several flaws, and so this article presents alternative terms that are clearer and more descriptive: "defactored" and "enfactored", respectively. These new terms were coined by [[Dave Keenan]] in collaboration with [[Douglas Blumeyer]] in June of 2021.
