I'd draw you a pic, but I still have to figure out how to visualize it.
Btw. It's normal to me that texts which convey a lot of dense information or abstract concepts need to be read many times to be comprehended. One can write them in a somewhat repetitive fashion which recapitulates the same point and tries to put it in different words (which is not a bad thing per se) such that the rereading is automatically included in the prose. That's what I'd usually do if I am writing a science book without tight space constraints. Alas, I was typing the above on my phone and being more verbose wasn't an option

I am told I have some form of dyslexia, but not where I see letters rearranged or backwards. It's the the wording of sentences and how my brain interprets the semantics of a sentence. It makes me feel really, really stupid.
