The light emitted by the solar \TR\ and corona varies significantly as a function
of position, wavelength, and time.

$\lambda$ is wavelength, and $t$ is time.
The ideal solar imaging spectrograph would capture $I(x, y, \lambda, t)$ with high resolution in $x$, $y$, $\lambda$,
and $t$ \textit{and} over a wide \FOV\, wavelength range, and time period.
Of course, the temporal dimension is privileged, so we often reduce the problem to capturing a 3D spatial/spectral

Approaching this ideal is the fast tunable filtergraph (\ie\ fast tunable Fabry--P\'erot etalons, \eg\ the GREGOR
Fabry--P{\'e}rot Interferometer, \citep{Puschmann12}), but the materials do not exist to extend this technology to
\EUV\ wavelengths shortward of $\sim$\SI{150}{\nano\meter}~\citep{2000WuelserFP}.

and $t$ \textit{and} over a wide \FOV\, wavelength range, and time period.
Of course, the temporal dimension is privileged, so we often reduce the problem to capturing a 3D spatial/spectral
cube at a particular time $t_0$: $I(x, y, \lambda, t_0)$.
Since we use 2D detectors, this means that we must find a way to flatten the 3D cube into two dimensions

...we use 2D detectors to capture an exposure at some time $t$...
Instead of "the 3D cube...without losing information", how about "the remaining three dimensions $x$, $y$, $\lambda$. This will probably entail some loss of information, which we must manage to meet our scientific goals."

The ported introduction descended from the manuscript included as a
chapter of Hans Courrier's dissertation, and 44% of its words sat
inside runs of eight or more consecutive words identical to it, so it
could not be published as written.

The rewrite adopts the framing begun in Kankelborg-Group/ESIS#2: the
Sun gives us a 3D spatial/spectral cube which has to be flattened onto
a 2D detector without losing information, and each family of
instruments is a different way of doing the flattening. Multiplexing
in time covers tunable filters, imagers, and rastering slit
spectrographs; dividing the detector covers integral field
spectrographs; and superimposing and inverting covers slitless
spectrographs, which leads to MOSES and then to ESIS.

Cites Courrier's dissertation for the earlier form of the design and
notes that the instrument which flew differs from it, most importantly
in the removal of the primary mask. No run of eight or more words is
now shared with the dissertation, and the longest run of any length is
five.
