-``PyPlate`` defines all experiment designs with three key nouns:
-
-- ``Factor``: A variable that is under the control of the experimenter
-- ``Experiment``: A particular combination of Factors. Generally implemented in a single well (Container) on a Plate.
-- ``ExperimentalSpace``: The set of all valid Experiments given a set of Factors.
-
-``PyPlate`` allows related experiments to be grouped together into blocks for the minimization of error.
-
 ``PyPlate`` defines all laboratory operations in terms of four key nouns:
 
 - ``Substance``: An abstract chemical or biological entity (e.g., reagent, enzyme, solvent, etc.).  This means that "water" qualifies, but not "5 mL of water" or "that beaker of water."

-``PyPlate`` assumes that you have a large set of experiments to plan and execute. Each experiment is a particular choice of experimental parameters (``Factors``) and may be considered to be a point in the ``ExperimentalSpace``. Each experiment is implemented as a series of solid and liquid handling instructions (``Recipe``). These instructions may be specified with or without explicitly defining an ``ExperimentalSpace``.
-
-1. Optionally, define the ``Factors`` (substrate, solvent, temperature, etc.), the allowable levels for each Factor, the ``ExperimentalSpace`` to be explored, and a blocking strategy.
-
-2. Create stock solutions (like substrate stocks) and initialize empty containers (like 96 well plates).
