Nah, this mess isn't intuitive to anyone. There also isn't anything like an agreed upon mathematical or logical notation. Everything in this field beyond the basics of algebra / set theory is awful one-off NIH languages with awful / inconsistent grammar that nobody beside the "inventor" can understand, while the inventor has perhaps a 50/50 chance of understanding their own writing.
The lack of requirement of mechanically verifiable proofs and adherence to common standards of expression of mathematical concepts is a huge drawback of what happens in this area of academia.
People who come up with languages like Haskell (which this one certainly is) are people who want the absurdity of languages created w/o system or any general design to spill over into the programming land. Solely based on the fact that they've been exposed to this cuneiform during their apprenticeship and learned to associate it with the actually valuable stuff it's meant to convey.
