Dumbing Down

Could you dumb it down a shade? --Mike Schiraldi 01:53, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • I think the first paragraoh is misleading the reader into thinking about fixpoints as real values, whereas the following paragraph is talking about a fixpoint in function space. It takes a bit of a conceptual leap to understand the latter, and the first paragraph doesn't particularly help...
I've submitted a rewrite that should be a lot easier to understand.

I suspect that some of that stuff is graffiti, but I'm not expert enough to say for sure. Will someone please check on it?
