Abstract added, thanks for the pointer. I did consider breaking the article in two to reduce size, but decided against it. An abstract would have been a good idea and in fact this is a (heavily) modified version of an academic paper that had an abstract, but somehow it didn't occur to me. Go figure.
To everyone: I feel I have been way too engrossed in the material to be able to competently write a summary that would be helpful to a first time reader, so suggestions on improving the abstract would be greatly appreciated.
Splitting an article in two is also common in academia; the same strategy on LW might result in more karma, if that's the sort of thing one finds worthwhile...
At this point, I'm more interested in adding any sort of value rather than optimizing for karma. I've done a lot of that on HN (and a little bit in academia), but LW is harder than that :)
