What definition of  &  is applied here?

   s=: 4 :'(],(<x)`:6/)&>/y' 
   '%' s (i.3);i:3
       _3   _2 _1 0 1   2        3
        0    0  0 0 0   0        0
_0.333333 _0.5 _1 _ 1 0.5 0.333333
_0.666667   _1 _2 _ 2   1 0.666667
   
How does it work?  I did find an explanation for  `6/ but I can't find it again.

Would
   '%' 1 :'(m;,.>{.y),.({.;}.)":(],(<m)`:6/)&>/y' (i.3);i:3 or

   '%' 4 :'(x;,.>{.y),.({.;}.)":(],(<x)`:6/)&>/y' (i.3);i:3


be acceptable?

The part to the right of the ": is essentially the same thing as your A.

But note that I prefer to leave both the top and bottom boxes on the right 
formatted (where you only left the top box formatted).

Thanks,
