Thanks Mark S.
That is helpful. It need to absorb it and play a bit to really "get" it.
The missing piece for me is still I can't quite grasp what "level" I'm at
in each thing. The "bracketing thing" in TW seems unusual. Morphing syntax?
I get confused because it almost behaves as if it were* part *of the "code",
not just a convention for containing it.
I'm trying to take your notes and put them in a table such that the
different combos begin to make logical sense. I'm not quite there yet. Give
me a couple of months.
My emphasis below.
