Last weekend I tried to go over the Dissect lab but Dissect I was missing. I updated dissect today to version 3.6.50 and I found two labs: Dissect I and Dissect II. I did notice that several new versions have been produced since February 19th [0].
One unwanted side effect of writing tacitly too much is that I find some plain sentences hard to follow. The explicit-to-tacit converter (13 : '…') helps me to some extent but now Dissect can explain those difficult sentences directly to me. Furthermore, as I mentioned before [1], Dissect can even explain to me the inner workings of what I have written. After spending some time browsing the labs I could not resist trying the following: dissect'((3x&*) &1 &1 &1) 0 1 2' NB. An additional &1 I checked the "Show ][" and the "Show @ @: etc" in the Preferences menu; then I clicked the atom 7625597484987; then I clicked again the same atom (now shown with green background color) ; then I clicked the 7625597484987 shown with purple background color; then I clicked the one with blue background. That is how the number 7625597484987 is produced! If one does not get the picture (with the interactive explanations) then, in my opinion, there is little else that can be said. It is great to have an expert sidekick on demand! Henry, thank you very much for developing, sharing, and for continuing to improve Dissect.
