b   notes

This book is best read front to back, word upon word. Each paragraph builds upon the last. The thesis is presented immediately in brief, then in increasing detail.

The book is an integrated whole. Every word aids comprehension, including front and back elements (preface, faq, etc).

  • underlined words are links
  • external links are listed at the very end of this book, in element z
  • a link followed by a letter or number is a “crosslink”, a cross reference to another section within the book. For example, media -​b crosslinks to the section below, “media”, in this element, b   notes.
  • italicized links are book titles
  • if also asterisked*, book is free to download or read online
media

Paper or e-paper is best for reading. Print a paper copy from this pdf. Or buy one (see write -​x). 8” or 10” e-paper devices from established companies are good. Dasung and Onyx monitors are best for writing and working.

Avoid backlit screens for reading: computers, tablets, phones. They irritate the eyes, disrupt concentration, and lower comprehension.
