I want a whole book of these! This should be a thing! What other topics could there be? It works best for human-invented (not discovered) complex topics. I'm thinking TCP/IP, Diffie-Hellman, Paxos, JPEG. (6/6)

I'm not sure I've written one up very consciously in that style. But it was very nearly the default way I approached all mathematics and physics for more than a decade. Funny to think that I "translated" a lot of that into the more conventional style.
