Making the article accessible
[edit]I have an engineering degree from MIT, but I still find this article nearly incomprehensible on first read. In the first sentence, the phrase "a system of finite encodings of its elements" needs to be explained. Neither the formal nor informal explanation in the intro make much sense. A visualization or elementary worked-through example would be enormously helpful. -- Beland (talk) 20:37, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
