How can I diagram this in a manner that is "easier" than the explanation? This is the first one I have seen where I have seen conditional logic with extended sentences like this.

If I were going to diagram this, it would probably be something like this: Not economic unless above 148 If above 148 then alloy If alloy, not above 148 So, the right thing simply doesn't exist, so not feasible. Does this make any sense? I like to try to rephrase into terms that make sense to be, but I also realize that one loses a lot of the nuance in doing so.
Interesting... You said, "If I were to diagram this"... Would you approach this question without diagramming? If so, what would your approach be?

I would really just imagine the scenario. We're told that there's this magic tech, but to be scaled we need to meet some threshold. There's only one thing that can meet that threshold, but unfortunately it seems like even that thing isn't capable.
Just trying to imagine this, it seems like the magic tech just isn't scalable here. I guess what I'm doing here is more rephrasing in a way that makes sense, but in more real-world type setups, I'm a big fan of just trying to visualize before diagraming it. Formal logic is really just distilled common sense, so i like to apply the common sense filter before falling back on formal logic.
