Translate Technical Jargon Into Everyday Language

A textbook, manual, or research summary reads like it was written to keep you out rather than let you in. This rewrites it in plain language while keeping every fact intact, so the ideas survive the translation even if the jargon does not.

Translate the technical passage pasted below into everyday language suitable for someone with no background in the subject. Keep every factual claim intact; do not simplify to the point of inaccuracy. Where a technical term cannot be avoided, keep it but add a short plain-English explanation in brackets the first time it appears. Match the length of the original passage as closely as possible rather than over-compressing. Passage: {TECHNICAL_TEXT}
