You are reading a reconstruction. A reconstruction is best read in conjunction with the reconstructed content.

Quick reading guide: when you see “<this>DEF”, this means a new concept (DEF = definition) that will be re-used later. It’s important to remember the definition in its context (i.e., the context is the phrase that contains the definition).

Then, if you see “<this>” (without DEF), this means a reference to the original definition. You have to remember this link while reading. To help you remember, you can click on it, and the browser will bring you back to the original definition and highlight it.

The goal of the reconstruction is to make you see objective content differently, using just a wider attention span and sensory memory. It doesn’t try to tell you whether a work is great. The latter is yours to decide.
