No, not precisely "simple" but a much better job of explanation
then i have ever had before. this may be due to the fact that 
i asked a question direct, within context of an online conversa-
tion rather that, say, reading a sol swift article in nibbles 
and bits. this does NOT demean one iota the effort you put forth
to explain. while the terms are still pretty "high end", you
took some time to define some terms and put them in context. i
appreciate that.

But now i wonder....this seems like an awfull lot of work with
very little return. that is, if you count that "return" as 
number of adam users who will actually USE this system. i know 
that we are way beyond the point of any commercial viability. 
and i'm quite certain your mind doesn't work that way anyway. 
if this is a task that you wish to tackle because it is
something that YOU want to do, then i say go to it. if it can 
somehow be "sold" (not in the dollars and cents sense <sorry 
about that!>) to the adam users at large that would be all to 
the better.

i'm not convinced that this is something that i myself can
embrace....
