This is a great post! As a costly signal of me liking it, I went in and fixed a bunch of formatting mistakes and converted your equations to nicely centered LaTeX blocks. Do let me know if you prefer your version, and I am happy to revert it.
Ah, someone with the time and energy to proofread and LaTeX things for me! No objection, thank you very much! (I actually didn’t know other people were able to edit my posts though, how does that work?)
I am an admin on the site, so I can edit things (other users can’t). It’s always been pretty common practice on LessWrong for mods/admins to clean up broken formatting, and it helps me feel the pain of the ways in which the editor that I build causes problems, so I feel more motivated to fix them.
In around half of the equations there is an extra right parenthesis. It makes reading the equations a bit extra work as it changes the interpretations somewhat.
In most of the equations with an extra right parenthesis, I believe it is the leftmost one (of the right parentheses) that should be removed.

Oops, sorry, that is likely my fault. Will fix.
(Edit: And I have now fixed it)
