Before you get too far, please consider whether or not an idiot can understand this. If you cannot adequately explain this to me, the dumbest genius in Lojban-central, you cannot possibly hope to get anybody else to understand this. I have a feeling that, based on what little I've read, you've nitpicked the semantics and come up with some massive overhaul that requires a BA in physics to understand to any decent degree the changes you've made.
Taking into account that I'm not a physicist..... no, you don't have to. 

If you can explain this in terms that a reasonably smart eight-year-old can understand,
Yes, i have a feeling that i said that already but mentioned 5-year old. But probably it was in #lojban chat.

then please do that once you've all figured out what you're doing. If you can't, then please reconsider what you're doing because you're going to severely alienate at least one reasonably important member of the community.
The best policy is the following:
One or two nice sentences illustrating each CAhA. Period.

That's what I wanted to see when I started digging into {mu'ei} but I couldn't put all cmavo in one scheme. I asked Robin for help and you can see his reply.
Probably in order to help everyone I'll make another version of the scheme based on latest xorxes' explanations.

But please everyone do something yourself too. We all speak different sub-languages, i.e. something that is clear to be may not be so for you.
