Rename “composition” to “transition polynomials” reflecting the text. #5

Closed jan-ferdinand closed 2 years ago

jan-ferdinand commented 2 years ago

Even though both names are somewhat generic, not very descriptive, and technically correct, I think changing the figures' term “composition polynomial” to “transition polynomial” makes sense because

  1. they are visually and semantically between the “transition constraints” and the “transition quotient(s)”, and
  2. they are already called “transition polynomials” in the text (where, in fact, the term “composition polynomial” does not appear).
