Do you find math notation to be
1 alienating, foreign and unnecessary 
2 can make sense of it if needed 
3 quickly understandable and unambiguous
4 a beautiful and preferable way to consume math ideas

The only problem is externality pricing.

2, but with a caveat: it takes considerable mental effort for me to make sense of it. So if the notation is part of a larger article and I'm mostly interested in the ideas (which is usually the case), I skip over it and concentrate on the words.

A follow up question: do you treat code differently? Do you have familiarity with software?

It's much the same with code. I finished a web dev bootcamp a long time ago, so I could make sense of some of it if necessary, but I rarely have the need to do so. 

Words are my preferred medium by far.

Would love to see your notes and curious your thoughts all around of course 

Recently I’ve been thinking about how I might propose an amended definition of hyperstructures that retains the original meaning while being more accurate

BTW, I read your critique of the hyperstructures piece, and I took some notes. Then I started digging into your other writings (though I admit I did skim some of the math). :)

Still reading and pondering. I'll return to that hyperstructures convo eventually!
