I’m also unsure where finite fields are coming into play. Finite fields have orders that are prime powers, and the author is talking about a “finite field” of order 7x9x11. But if we aren’t dealing with fields, why is the author mentioning plans for implementing division? It definitely needs more explanation but I’m not sure if the idea is coherent.
