A curator could not tell what Influence, or the other columns, meant. The table's headers now say what each number is (activity × normal, change vs baseline), and a short "What do these columns mean?" note, opened in place, defines each column in plain words from DeltaSignal's own API documentation, and says how the rows are sorted and grouped.

Influence counts only the reactions an entity feeds (substrate, catalyst, activator, inhibitor), at the predicted state: a direct, local effect, not its effect on the whole pathway; one that feeds no reaction scores 0. Change is a difference on the × scale, so a fall reaches -1 and a rise +99, and large rises sort above every fall. Data cells get role="cell" beside the headers' columnheader.

A curator testing DeltaSignal on beta couldn't tell what the result table's Influence column meant, nor quite what the others meant. This replaces #765 after its review.
The change
Clearer headers: Entity, Activity (× normal), Change vs baseline, Influence. The headers get
role="columnheader", and the data cellsrole="cell".A note above the table, "What do these columns mean?". It opens in place, so it works on touch screens. It defines:
node_activities × 100). Every node the site parses has a baseline of 0.01, so 1× is each node's normal.Σ|∂F/∂input|over the reactions the node is an input to, per DeltaSignal'scompute_influence_scores.The note also says that rows are sorted by the size of the change, and that an entity made of several logic nodes shows their average activity and change and their largest influence.
Changed from #765: #765 described Influence as covering the reactions an entity "takes part in", which includes those that produce it, and as how much it matters "to the result". Neither is what the score computes.
Text, roles and style only. The pre-push checks passed.
