[Aisthesis]

Cool! Thanks for the encouragement! I know when I got off on one of my math binges, it can get a bit difficult to follow (particularly since I'm often struggling myself).

I do hope the "curve" is clear in terms of increasing quality of hands necessary for moving in in the earlier vs. the later positions.

I think that's really the important result here--which also corresponds nicely with similar results obtainable through other methods.

Also, if you or anyone else browsing through the thread can let me know of specific parts or steps in need of clarification, I'd be glad to explain (with the linear simplifications I had to do, the math here actually isn't all that bad).
