Personally, I gave up reading it, because I could understand almost no sentence in the definition.

For example, when I read "\(f(n) = k^3\)", I wondered "what are \(n\) and \(k\), and dow they have any relation?"

When I read "\(A\) is the leftmost entry", then I thought "What array are we considering?" After then, when I read "\(B + n\)", I wondered "what is \(B\)?" "What is the a?" "What is \((a)_b\)?"

Maybe the answers can be obtained after I competely read whole portion of your blog post, but it is not so easy to do so before understanding the meanings of smbols you used.

It is just my failure, and hence others will understand your definition. I am accustomed to reading a paper written in the usual way in mathematics, i.e. one in which every symbol is defined or quantified at the very time it occurs, but am not to reading this type, i.e. one in which many symbols will be defined or quantified after they appear.
