It is my hope that you will study, comprehend, and ultimately embrace this approach, ensuring its value to future generations.1

The explanations of collision values began on page 157, with the monster wave calculations derived from those values starting on page 53. Altogether, the dense 210 pages of equations set Rohakan’s mind spinning.0
