ok, this finally seems relatively stable.
again - i don't know if it keeps changing, or i keep changing my mind, or perhaps even both. i've got examples of things i'm sure aren't what i typed, and examples where i caught myself and said "no, i wasn't clear.".
i have about a hundred more pages that are already written to update in this document. i was hoping it would be fast (the story of my fucking life...), but this is going to be painful if it takes me a week to get through five pages.
nonetheless, i'm going to try to move to the next section.
