Subject: Drools Phreak chapter – I need a second pair of eyes

I'm the author of 《Drools规则引擎技术指南》, and I'm currently writing the second
book, tentatively titled 《Drools规则引擎——内核与原理》.
One whole chapter is dedicated to the Phreak algorithm, but there's very
little material available – the official docs are vague at best. I've been
writing it mostly by reading the source code and running my own tests, so
I'm not fully confident.

I'm looking for someone who has actually studied Drools internals
(especially the RETE/Phreak evolution, node networks, parallel processing,
etc.) to give this draft a quick sanity check.

I don't need a formal report – just scribble comments directly on the PDF:
1.where I got it wrong
2.where it's not clear enough
3.where I missed something important
4.where it's hard to follow

Be blunt – the more direct, the better.

As a token of thanks, I'll include your name in the book's acknowledgements.

If you're interested, just reply and I'll send you the draft. No deadline –
take your time.

Thanks!
