The value of `new-yx` in the anonymous function that is used with
`filter` is whatever value `filter` is invoking the function with from
its second argument. In this case, the second argument is a sequence
created by the `map` function. To simplify things...

(filter (fn [x] (even? x)) [1 2 3 4]) ;=> (2 4)

This can be simplified to `(filter even? [1 2 3 4])` but the above
example is to help show how `x` is used.

#() is just another way to create an anonymous function. The % means
the first argument passed into the function when invoked.

(= x (#(%) x)) ;=> true

This is because deltas is a vector of vectors. The first invocation of
`map` deals with the outer vector, while the inner invocation deals
with each inner vector.
