He's not using level to explain boxing: he's using it to represent
multidimensional unboxed arrays. I think that's a great idea, because
it makes the frame easier to think about than using a physical
representation of the data as a cube or table etc.
Arnab: this may be a problem later, because 'level', as Devon says, is a
J term related to boxing.
Also: you will have to decide whether you think an atom is an array.
NuVoc takes the position that an atom is NOT an array; it uses the terms
'atom', array', and 'noun' as needed. There is distinguished opposition
to this view, including from the originator of the language, but NuVoc
is now officially sanctioned...
I just now looked at the first pages. This is fine work. It gives good
motivation for taking the trouble to learn the language. Keep it up.

Hi Arnab,
where you are using a tree metaphor to explain boxing, if you label the
simple vector as having depth 0, rather than 1, it would line up with the
result of the level verb (L.), e.g.
L. i. 3
0
L. 1 2;3 4;5 6
1

Anyway, I have dumped a few more draft pages (

The hotlink to nonlin11.html should be nonlin1.html to avoid a 404
error.
