This readme does a really poor job of explaining what the improvement is or how they drop half the multiplications. What is the Big O run time on this? Is this shifting the known best bounds?

And the diagrams are chaotic and don't really explain anything about why this approach is fast or good. The result is that I'm reluctant to even click-through to the PDF.

If you want to improve the project credibility please consider being honest and open about what is actually going on and giving some clear explanations and illustrations, rather than things that may as well be designed to hype people too busy to tell you that you are cranks. It's hard to tell if this is incredibly groundbreaking or just but nothingburger. Sadly I almost feel like that must be an intentional decision motivated by poor merits of work and a desire to exploit AI height. The alternative - which I prefer to believe is the case - is that the author simply needs to revise and better contextualize.
