E∞-operad

Ok kiddo, let me try to explain what an e∞-operad is in a way that's easy to understand.

So first, let's talk about what an operad is. An operad is like a set of instructions for how to put together different things. For example, let's say we have an operad for making a sandwich. It might have instructions for how to put together different ingredients like bread, cheese, and ham to make a delicious sandwich.

Now, an e∞-operad is a special kind of operad that's really good at telling us how to combine things in a way that's really flexible. It's like a super powerful set of instructions for making all kinds of different things. It can even help us make really complicated things, like fractals or geometric shapes.

The "e∞" part just means that it's really good at handling infinite things - like if we wanted to make an infinite sequence of sandwiches!

Overall, an e∞-operad is just a really handy set of instructions for putting together lots of different things, in lots of different ways.
