@ -7,10 +7,10 @@ various circuit relations are satisfied:
- The rules of the lookup arguments.
- The rules of the equality constraint permutations.
Each of these relations is inherently represented as a polynomial of degree $d$ (the
maximum degree of any of the relations). Given that the degree of the assignment
polynomials (over which these relations are built) is $n - 1$, the full polynomial
representing each relation has degree $d(n - 1)$.
Each of these relations is represented as a polynomial of degree $d$ (the maximum degree
of any of the relations) with respect to the circuit columns. Given that the degree of the
assignment polynomials for each column is $n - 1$, the relation polynomials have degree
$d(n - 1)$ with respect to $X$.
