I had read the description on the website, but not the full paper. I'm looking at that now.
You'll note that I've avoided talking about true arrays as used in APL/J/K/NIAL in my paper (the difference being that an array has a type, and a list does not). The primary reason for that is that they are just too complicated. However, my paper and More's array theory are not incompatible, or even redundant, as More describes a particular data structure and I describe a method of handling data structures. I've been looking into arrays as a form of static typing to speed up computations, and in this situation array theory will come in handy.
