This is the first time I have looked at anything you linked to here.

Your page has nothing at all to do with the C language, and rather
looks like gibberish to me.

You seem to be either a troll or a person of relatively low IQ with an
overly high impression of yourself.

In either case, I suggest you leave this group and spare it your
nonsense.

I won't know either way, because...

It's either gibberish or genius that I don't understand.

The idea seems to be to extend some sort of formal notation to concatenation
and flow tree operations on C source code. I am not convinced that it
describes anything useful, but I'm not entirely sure of that.

It's neither gibberish nor genius, though the term "arithmetic"
is misleading. It is a fragment of a reinvention of a theory of
formal grammars.

It's incomplete; given enough work he could reinvent BNF. That's
useful, though the language and compiler groups might be more
appropriate.

So it is genius. Unfortunately it has been done before, and he hasn't got
all the way there yet. So no hall of fame yet for Logan Lee.

However next idea ...
