I'm not a mathematician, but I went decently far into math and hardly ever encountered a summation over non-indexed elements, or really anything beyond the standard \Sum_{i=1}^{n}, even up to my final math courses. I wasn't aware

Fully agree! I don't think life is much more than a sort of chemical engineering, "designed" with the "purpose" of self-replication. Our engineer, natural selection, didn't have "healthspan" in mind;
