Here's G B ((=&{:)|.)"1 $~&5 4 i.3 1 1 1 1 1 Here, I rephrase G by eliminating the & (({:@[ = {:@])|.)"1 $~&5 4 i.3 1 1 1 1 1 Note that I am testing the result at each step, here, to make sure I've not made any bad assumptions (for example, hypothetically speaking some intermediate results in these kinds of transformations might need some explicit treatment of rank). Here, I further rephrase G by also eliminating both of the @ conjunctions ((([: {: [) = ([: {: ]))|.)"1 $~&5 4 i.3 1 1 1 1 1 Here, I simplify slightly by using a hook (((([: {: [) = ]) {:)|.)"1 $~&5 4 i.3 1 1 1 1 1 Here, I simplify again by using a cross hook (((= {:)~ {:) |.)"1 $~&5 4 i.3 1 1 1 1 1 Good enough?
