Let’s make laysplain happen

Piper Harron wrote a thesis: “The Equidistribution of Lattice Shapes of Rings of Integers of Cubic, Quartic, and Quintic Number Fields: an Artist’s Rendering” which, in addition to proving an interesting result “laysplains” it along the way.

Sadly, “laysplain” doesn’t seem to be a word yet. Google it and you just find potato chips.
