25- * represented as 5 uint64_t's in base 2^52. The values are allowed to contain >52 each. In particular,
26- * each FieldElem has a 'magnitude' associated with it. Internally, a magnitude M means each element
27- * is at most M*(2^53-1), except the most significant one, which is limited to M*(2^49-1). All operations
28- * accept any input with magnitude at most M, and have different rules for propagating magnitude to their
29- * output.
25+ * represented as 5 uint64_t's in base 2^52, least significant first. Note that the limbs are allowed to
26+ * contain >52 bits each.
27+ *
28+ * Each field element has a 'magnitude' associated with it. Internally, a magnitude M means:
29+ * - 2*M*(2^48-1) is the max (inclusive) of the most significant limb
30+ * - 2*M*(2^52-1) is the max (inclusive) of the remaining limbs
31+ *
32+ * Operations have different rules for propagating magnitude to their outputs. If an operation takes a
33+ * magnitude M as a parameter, that means the magnitude of input field elements can be at most M (inclusive).
34+ *
35+ * Each field element also has a 'normalized' flag. A field element is normalized if its magnitude is either
36+ * 0 or 1, and its value is already reduced modulo the order of the field.
