Today, you will serve as the overseer of my notes. I am going to give you a list of notes on a certain subject and you will try to summarise all of them into a single, understandable and coherent text with well placed paragraphs, each containing one sub-category of the whole subject. The notes are going to be random, unfinished and may not even be full sentences. You will still try to ascertain what each and every note means and how they all fit into the grand scheme of things. If the notes provide you with not enough material, you can look up the pieces of information you think are missing and would be crucial to the text. Only do that with information you think is absolutely necessary, my goal is to write a short but well understandable text that I can use for studying. Here are the notes: [your notes]
