My personal preference is to rely on common usages for common terms. In the
spirit of being able to explain complex ideas to children. Furthermore I
thing the use of specialized language just tends to obscure rather than
highlight our meanings. Further furthermore I don't think the MoQ is
complicated enough to warrant a specialized vocabulary.

Ok, we simply disagree here. I don't think the terms, as we use them in the MoQ, *are* common. And I don't think the main purpose is to be able to explain it to children. And I think specialized language make things much easier to discuss and make progress within the field at hand. And I *do* think the MoQ is quite complex enough to make it worth while to keep discussing it for 13 years.

Actually I meant that as a pun on Doug's creation of quantum speak. But I
think it also means a jump from one electron shell to the next without
passing through the intervening space. These seems an odd sort of "atoms and
void" effect that contributes to quantum weirdness. For your purposes that
jump is a kind of absolutely discrete boundary line but even there what you
have is an electron "cloud".

What do you mean by electron "cloud"?
