Great article, thanks for sharing. I don't know if there's a technical concept/name for this, but I call it "legibility threshold" -- the threshold at which you are highly likely to be able to intuit the words/ideas you don't know, by the context. I think it's a valuable concept as it pertains to joining a new company/problem domain -- there are so many acronyms/words you don't know, and it takes time to hit the "legibility threshold" where everything starts to click.
