 ## What is an CAIP?
 
-CAIP stands for Chain Agnostic Improvement Proposal. An CAIP is a design document providing information to the community or describing a standard to be used across multiple chains. The CAIP should provide a concise technical specification of the feature and a rationale for the feature. The CAIP author is responsible for building consensus within the community and documenting dissenting opinions.
+CAIP stands for Chain Agnostic Improvement Proposal. An CAIP is a design document providing information to the community or describing a standard to be used across multiple "chains." To be more precise, a CAIP may describe capabilities applicable to any sequential orderings of cryptographically hashed commitments, including non-blockchain systems that can interoperate with blockchains productively, such as DAGs, sharded systems, git systems using keyserver-based PKI, etc. The CAIP should provide a concise technical specification of the feature and a rationale for the feature. The CAIP author is responsible for building consensus within the community and documenting dissenting opinions.
 
 ## CAIP Rationale
 
 Currently it is often the case that a standard defined in one chain is also used in another chain. E.g. the usage of BIP39 in Ethereum applications. Also there is no real place to propose a standard that can be used for multiple chains (like mnemonics) currently. CAIPs are intended to fill this gap and be a place where such standards can live.
 
 ## CAIP Formats and Templates
 
-CAIPs should be written in [markdown] format.
+CAIPs should be written in [markdown][] format.
 Image files should be included in a subdirectory of the `assets` folder for that CAIP as follows: `assets/caip-N` (where **N** is to be replaced with the CAIP number). When linking to an image in the CAIP, use relative links such as `../assets/caip-1/image.png`.
