Thank you, Brian. About g1, the linear representation is
5!:5 <'g1'
(2 * *) +/@, ,&*:
and in that form, with the extra space, it is easier for me to see that the
central operation (+/@,) sums the append of its arguments, and that the
arguments being sent are twice the product on the left, and the append of the
squares on the right. The arguments will be appended and summed, producing the
result. Now clear; without the extra space I was scratching my head!
