Maintainer here, it's meant to be a visual representation of a 2-tuple of natural numbers.

But I get your point, there was another commentator here who expressed similar frustrations. When I find some time, I'll see about picking a clearer example for the README

I say great work in coming up with any visual example at all.

Visualizing multi-dimensional merges isn't easy. :)

That said, maybe an additional example of merging JSON blobs might be more intuitive for some.

then maybe it should say:

> a 2-tuple like structure that stores cubes in each slot.

instead of

> a 2-tuple like structure that stores cubes in two slots.

The flowing also confused me:

> It allows us to store a value and resolves concurrently set values by keeping both values.

"both" indicates the concurrency can only happen between two parties. I think saying "keeping all values" is more accurate.
