Don't feel embarrassed. Pen and paper have had a few thousand years to get their critical app correct. Nothing digital allows the ease, low cost and free form expression paper currently provides....

You are likely misreading the diagram, I misread it at first too. The numbers in the boxes are where data is coming from or going to. So for the top left part where you get = min(, ) , you find ...

Rettaw, I'm fairly sure that's not a comparison but a minimal element of set of operands.
