FWIW, I found the idea of interference-to-signal ratio as a way to think about memory capacity to be intuitive and was really interested in getting a better sense of how models increase capacity, until it hit the first math notation formula. My disconnect was based on the approachable tone of the intro, from which I assumed it would be a more generally accessible article.

To be clear, I have no problem with math people conveying math stuff with math notation but it seemed like the type of article which, even if it will get into notation, first at least explains "the main idea of it" without notation, then expands with notation as necessary when fleshing details or implementation.
