I’m having difficulties with your terminology. You’ve given special meanings to “distinction”, “prospect”, and “deal” that IMO don’t bear any obvious relationship to their common usage (“event” makes more sense). Hence, I don’t find those terms helpful in evoking the intended concepts. Seeing “A deal is a distinction over prospects” is roughly as useful to me as seeing “A flim is a fnord over grungas”. In both case, I have to keep a cheat-sheet handy to understand what you mean, since I can’t rely on an association between word and concept that I’ve already internalized. Maybe this is accepted terminology that I’m not aware of?
I’m not sure yet how much the terminology will pop up in future articles (one of the pitfalls of posting them as you go). I don’t think it will matter much, but if it future posts are unclear point out where the language is problematic and I’ll try to make things clearer.
