#4As a high schooler interested in things that are probably out of my league, I love reading this kind of stuff. The author mentions their unconventional style at the beginning: hyperlinks, color, italics, exclamations, parentheses, side notes, etc. They address your thoughts and craft their explanations around them instead of being terse and optimizing for length.
The author's blog [1] has more of this style and has really helped me get deeper into category theory. Without it, I wouldn't have even begun to try and understand things like the Yoneda lemma (which still remains a mystery to me).
Does anyone know any other papers or resources with this style? Maybe something like "explorable explanations" [2]?

I don't have any resources to share on this, but I was also interested in this type of thing at your age (still am). If it interests you, never assume something is out of your league.
You have time on your side. Sustained effort compounded over time is unreasonably powerful. Keep pushing!

Already often quoted on HN, and some discussions are interesting with the author bringing feedback. https://hn.algolia.com/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbetterexplained.com

Two points to you for nerd-sniping a physicist with the "assassin problem" episode that auto-ran when I followed the link. Have a nice day!
