It appear that I'm just not cut out for explaining intricate things in prose.

It is more likely that you just don't have a clue. haha sorry couldn't resist.
Seriously, the problem is that you haven't stated what you think the problem is. Also, you keep bringing up Gold 2.0 like we know what you are talking about and like it is a real concept.
You don't have to write prose. Just write a series of steps -- cause and effect, and we can help fill in the details.
