Why this site is incomprehensible
One of the reasons this site is incomprehensible is that it deals with ideas I don't fully understand. Another is that it is really hard work to make things you do understand comprehensible to others, and this is just a hobby site, so don't expect too much hard work in it. Another is that the site's structure, while present, is obscure.
I did put quite a lot of hard work into making the book chapter I wrote on this subject comprehensible. In return for that hard work, and the assignment of copyright in it to Springer, my total financial recompense was: one (1) copy of the book. They now sell the book for £36.99, but I don't get any of that money.
There is however, no copyright in ideas, and I am trying to ensure that all the ideas in that chapter find their way onto this site. The order in which I am doing that is not the order in which the ideas should be read, so this blog is not the direct way to read this site first. Use the outline page first instead.
