I love the visualization on acko.net but for whatever reason, unlike apparently many of you, I still don't understand the topics he's trying to explain.
As just one example on step 18 of the first major visualization it says "And that's actually a remarkable thing, because it means our invented rule has created a square root of −1. It's the number 1∠90∘" WAT?!
I'm sure someone skilled at math understands that but as a lamer at math I have no idea how that explains that the rule invented the square root of -1. Nothing before that has mentioned square roots or how this vector + rotation has any relation to them.
