Commenter's Conflict of Interests: Author
Consolidation of Introduction: Instead of several standalone sentences about AITs, I grouped the information into a more cohesive introductory paragraph that gives an overarching understanding of AITs and their purpose.
Use of itemize for lists: I replaced sections that used the \textbf{} format for lists with LaTeX's itemize environment. This provides a clearer presentation and eases readability.
Simplified Description: I simplified and clarified the description about the "even" and "odd" parents in the "Multiple Parents in AITs" section.
Redundancy Reduction: I eliminated repetitions and presented the information in a more direct and concise manner, especially in the "Constructing AITs" section.
Reordering: I shuffled some points around to enhance logical flow and cohesion in the content.
Refinement of Mathematical Notation: I ensured mathematical notation and formulas were consistent and clear throughout.
