Hello,

Could you tell me about what you intend, in detail?
I'm now asking you since I really don't know it.

The reason I reworked on documentation was to
answer your requests like "explain mathematically",
"tell how it works with graph" and so on. Should I
do anything else? I really don't know it.

If I missed something, please let me know. Then I
can do whatever you want if it's necessary.

Why don't you read the document in the last patch
first? The document is my answer for your requests
you asked in version 1 thread. Insufficient?
