I knew that we've been getting fairly loose with the TLDs these days, but I hadn't realized that we've had brand TLDs (e.g. global.fujitsu) for over a decade now: https://icannwiki.org/Brand_TLD
I can't sight-read, and I can't play by ear, so I sometimes jokingly say that I play 'by hand'. That's fairly apt though, because when I'm improvising/exploring it has a lot more to do with what feels right tactile-ly rather than auditorily. Obviously I still have a feedback loop of listening to whether what I'm playing sounds good, but it ends up being more of a filter steering me away from things that sound bad than a pull to what sounds good. It seems to me it's more the motor-control portion of my brain that's leading the way in improvisation.
Because of all this, I find it interesting when my hands 'want' to play something more difficult than they are (initially) capable of. In this songlet, I gravitated towards the trills, but they were at the edge of my ability to play well so I had to practice a decent bit to make them sound right in addition to feel right.

Don't let good tactics dictate bad strategy. But also, a good strategy with no plausible tactics is not a good strategy.
Not exactly conclusive, but seems like the 'E' order-of-magnitude notation makes sense to ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com/share/9e4e23b4-4890-46c7-b655-7e680ed8a584
The JF-compound is a 3D object that looks like a 'J' from one angle and an 'F' from another. Because of this it has no symmetries and can be used to unambiguously illustrate 3D transformations.
