On page 33, paragraph 4, sentences 4 and 5 you use the term ‘term’. Is this about Erlangs TERM?

Constructors create a term of the core type from convenient
inputs. Reducers transform a term of the core type to another term of
that type.

If so, I don’t really have a suggestion as to how to fit that in without having to define it.

Great question! Yep, term here is used in the spirit of Erlang’s term and is meant to simply describe any piece of data of any type.
