I don't know of any such paper. But it certainly sounds like a worthwhile project for the new year. An explanation of how 13 : works would provide a nice starting point.
There are some resources on reading (as opposed to writing) tacit expressions on the wiki, and recently some of the J Forums' finest published tools for "explicating" tacit code (a sort of inverse to 13 : n). The respective search functions (wiki and forumsearch) should locate these useful resources quickly. I'd suggest you use the Wiki's full text search; I find the titles-only search too limited. -Dan PS: I'd normally give more specific and definitive pointers, but at the moment I'm on vacation, sitting on the veranda, overlooking the Caribbean sea, and contemplating fishing strategies. Strong competition for J work. I'm sure I'll be more productive when I return home, and the cold New York winter keeps me inside. Until then, my best wishes to everyone for a happy and fruitful New Year.
