gollark: I don't understand it, but it seems good.
gollark: I suppose I prefer this, though it's still just saying "used somewhere else" instead of having an arrow from the ADP output to the ADP input.
gollark: Thing is that it goes back to an earlier stage of the process, so maybe that should be indicated.
gollark: Sure, but I think you output ADP or whatever when there's a thing earlier on consuming it.
gollark: shouldn't you draw lines from the outputs into the corresponding inputs?
