Explicit points: what the user sets, it’s an unbounded number (except by the database)
Points: These flutter around the explicit points based on your interactions.
Relevance Factor: We map the explicit points to a number between 0 and 1 then multiple that factor times the other factors of articles. That's based on the current configuration of the feed.
Relevance Score: between 0 and 1. 0 won’t show in your relevant feed, closer to 1 means higher in the list.
I guess the next question is whether this could be simplified or made more clear for end users. I wonder whether some form of slider control would be more or less helpful here.
Yes, this entire section can, and will, be made more simpler/clear for end users. It is not currently a place we are focusing our product development efforts but it is high on my list for our backlog. (one of our designers is already giving it a lot of unloving side eye).

This is all really useful to my understanding.
