What Terrence wrote was: > The verb rank is 0 and the noun rank is 1, > therefore, r is 1 and so we will be applying > the verb to 1-cells. The context (in JforC) of Terrence's attempt includes the following guidance: "Figure out the rank r of the cells that will be operated on; this will be the smaller of rank of the verb and the rank of the operand." True, this guidance was given for monadic verbs, and the reader is in the as-yet-uncharted territory of dyadic verbage; perhaps things will be different here. The assumption of consistency, however, is contrary to the "therefore" in Terrance's sentence. Identifying the rank of +/ as infinite, in contrast, is consistent with the claim that rank-one cells apply here.
