Expand description
J’s atomic representation, which is what a gerund is made of.
u`v is not a parse-time object in J: it is boxed data, one box per
tied entity, and each box holds that entity’s atomic representation. A
primitive is its own spelling as a character vector; a noun is the pair
('0'; <value); a train is ('2'; <parts) or ('3'; <parts); and
anything a modifier derived is (spelling; <operands). Everything is
therefore ordinary data, which is what lets a gerund be assigned,
computed and displayed like any other noun.
