Just a suggestion. In Section 11.5.2, I noticed that two subsections appear to overlap, repeating some of the explanations, though neither seems fully complete. I’d suggest merging them into a single, more cohesive subsection to improve clarity and avoid redundancy. This is not major and negligible; perhaps it would also be helpful to cite key problems of basic memory units (e.g., cache, scratchpad, etc.). Table 11.11 could benefit from a quick pass for readability, especially in terms of row alignment and visual clarity.

@formlsysbookissue Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback—it was spot on. 🙏 I’ve updated the text, and if you have a chance, I’d really appreciate it if you could take a look. When I’m writing, I often get caught up in the details of each section, and since I revisit things after breaks, I sometimes miss overlaps or redundancies. Having your kind of feedback really helps me see the bigger picture, and I deeply appreciate it.

Please review the updated text, which should build into the live version here -- dev -- it usually takes an hour for these builds to pass all the tests.
