The first section details how the author thinks of "log N" with no base as an abstract object rather than a number. Or what are you referring to?

The first section is the good part.

The later reuse of “log” across valuations, dimension, vector fields, orders of vanishing is not so good. Those may be related ideas, but each needs a type signature: from what, to what, and preserving which operation?
