I have now written 5000 words (many of them were garbage, but that was expected behaviour).
> I do worry that if *I* can’t keep the structure in my head, readers won’t be able to either. Which is part of why the linkages seem to want to be made so explicit. And why the text needs to be extremely clear and simple, which is a job.

Maybe it would be useful for you to try some writing exercises in this space in the opposite direction? e.g. suppose you had to write no more than 500 words of up goer five prose (https://splasho.com/upgoer5/ ) about it, what would you write?

Up goer five style is actually terrible for comprehensibility IMO, and certainly not a goal to aim for for the over all text, but the act of writing in that style can be usefully clarifying.
