The primary reference is to the problem set as originally specified by the
originator of the thread: sieve of Eratosthenes.Extensions to this would of
course change the athemas involved.

I meant to foot note:

First: is very difficult to understand your prose. I do not know if this
is due to your unique style, or a difference in our respective expectations,
but it doesn't matter. The result is that usually I can get the gist of
your message, and no more.
Similarly to students of J until they learn what is intended ...
But: you have to grab _all_ of the context.
That said: the only difference in
> _type_ (programming language) of element
is rank. Boxes envelop that difference, and all others wrt nouns,
producing a homogeneous array. That is their purpose.
No: not in terms of the principles and conditions that I listed reative to
the elements of
many
in
The Sieve of Eratosthenes.
If you don't like that, you should lobby for the deprecation of boxes, not
the sequential machine pattern.
Nothin' ta dew with boxes:
the type pattterns inherent in the originating _problem_ which is _outside_
of J:
and the choice to use the _structural_ elements of J one way or another.
But, since I do not share that distaste, I guess the debate is moot, and
does not warrant further discussion.
Different wiles, different styles.
