I intend for this to be more targeted towards the brony community than LW. I've gotten mixed feedback here. I've gotten reactions from "equally accessible to the brony off the street as the LWer," your suspicion that bronies would find the singularity jarring (which I interpret as a request to make singularity concepts more explicit), and a comment in this thread that I need to make the LW references more subtle.

As accessibility is my intention, what do you think I should do here?

None of us can accurately assess the reaction of someone who finds the concepts unfamiliar. I owuld suggest getting an entirely seperate group of non-LW bronies to read it and get their feedback.
