Since you read Chinese, and I don't, would you be kind enough to
translate in French or in English actual *detailed* documents about
this so-called "ML root" (which is a nonsense, I assume you mean a
"multiscript root")? I would be very interested to read detailed
documents about how it works. Until now, I've just seen
three-sentences claims, without little practical details.
