Don't use tables of the same size: 1/3 + 1/4 = 2/X There would be no confusion as to what X should be. And as someone else said, use units: 1/3 of table A + 1/4 of table B = 2/7 of both tables.

A better analogy would perhaps be studying how a machine-learning model works, once it has been fully trained. Code is written by humans for humans. The way models are trained has some similarities with the way evolution has created our bio

Yes, but it's only when the black holes get extremely close that they produce gravitational waves powerful enough for us to detect. You're correct that for many years (millenia?) the black holes have been orbiting each other much
