Confusing phrasing in the vertical diagrams

The vertical diagram says “result cells of v” which left me confused while learning about u@v. Properly, cells are always subarrays of a particular array, whereas the results of the v-applications are not so. It should say “v-results” in keeping with established terminology elsewhere on the wiki.

Granted, the appropriate phrase “the results of the individual applications of v” is used elsewhere in the page, but this can get lost in the reader’s mind when they’re focused on the vertical diagrams and trying to interpret the phrasing used there.

I’m unsure of the best way to edit the diagram myself, but am happy to try. Or perhaps better is to remove the vertical diagrams altogether now that we have the horizontal ones?

I agree with you. And I agree that removing the vertical diagrams is a good idea since the horizontal ones are so much more detailed. It would be good to have some attention-catching link so that someone landing on any of these pages is encouraged to get to the combined page for a summary.
