Oh wow! Yes yes...these kinds of notation "standards" are huge unlocks for propagating understanding. I wonder what the felt effect within the ballet community was like in 1789 (and the following decade). I heard there was a massive unlock in Origami when they came up with tje standardised notation system, and folds that had previously been considered impossible (and for hundreds of years), suddenly started falling away like flys as the community absorbed and amplified the skill though the relationship networks. And just from an "shared encoding" agreement - standards really do make the world!

@nemocake - may I please become a member of /schematics? @sinusoidalsnail knows me, and may be able to vouch for me as a member (I hope). Thank you so much. I have a deep abiding love for Schematics and the Tufte-esque art of depicting complex ideas in visuals.
