Compounds are useful for organizing your ICE trees. Even if you don’t intend to reuse or distribute your compounds, using compounds can help make your ICE trees readable and understandable. Kinda like paragaraphs in written text. Use compounds to separate blocks of functionality, and give your compounds meaningful names. It’ll help later when you come back to an ICE tree you haven’t worked on for awhile.
Without any compounding, you’re looking at a 195 total nodes (and 46 different nodes).
