Novice wishes from an accessible dictionary.
0) Will the accessible dictionary help me understand errors? For
example, "Why does this raise domain error instead of dividing by three
the result after evaluating a polynomial?"
r2 =: %&3 @ _1 2&p.
1) This sentence about `agenda' in the dictionary: "The case m...@.v uses
the result of the verb v to perform the selection." leaves me asking
"v called with which arguments?", and I worry, "Am I restricted to
monadic v?". The prior sentence about boxing and parenthesizing is so
nebulous that it doesn't concern me. Examples \textit{must} follow.
And I also comment that you ought to consider downplaying valence. The
functions have natural names and valences.
I want to compare? Then I need two things.
I want to box something? One thing.
I want a logarithm? One thing. Oh, it's a natural log. OK.
Change the base? Two things. OKay.
Understanding valence in trains is a separate concern. I enjoy the data
flow diagrams and have developed other methods to understand trains.
