I am generally well read across a wide variety of fields, but now and again I come across a sentence or paragraph where the sheer density of information packed into a small number of well-chosen field-specific terms just stops me in my tracks. The abstract for this paper is a testament to the ability of jargon to increase the information carrying capacity of the limited bitrate of human language - it hit my head like a zip bomb.

You should have said "it hit my head like a zip bomb", it was unclear to me what you meant till I read the whole paragraph

It gives me flashbacks to the last time I tried to figure out what a sheaf was.

As another reader who has no idea what any of this is about, I've coerced my favorite LLM to digest it into ooga-booga format in the style of this essay[1]:

# grug see big sky boom

- sky make ooga FLASH but not light, just invisible whoosh (radio).

- whoosh so strong, like sun work many day, but all squish into blink of eye.

- smart sky-people have big ear rock (CHIME). ear rock say: "boom come from there, galaxy far, but not too far (only 130 million fire-circles (light years) away)."

- ear rock also have many little ear-brother rock across land, help point finger very good.

- finger point so good, sky-people know spot of boom smaller than tree forest (13 parsec).

- then, magic glass eye (James Webb) look at spot. see old fat star (red giant) glowing soft.

- but fat star not make ooga boom. hmm. maybe fat star have sneaky tiny angry friend (neutron star).

- tiny angry friend go "KRAK!" → make fast radio boom.

# lesson for tree-brain

- boom in sky still big mystery.

- now smart sky-people can say where boom come from.

- if know where, can watch with other eyes, maybe find secret of why.

- grug think: many sky boom = maybe angry tiny stars yelling far away.

# Ooga booga translation:

"Tree no know why sky yell. But now tree know where sky yell. Soon, tree maybe know why sky yell."
