 Keccak is a hashing algorithm used for the SHA-3 standard. [The
 standard][nist-standard] is semi-readable math clownery. Hashing algorithms by
 nature have to be complicated and somewhat obfuscated. But, at the end of the

+## Outer Keccak
+
+Keccak uses this "sponge" metaphor.  If you think of the bits as water, the
+state type of Keccak is somewhat analagous to a sponge. In this analogy, the
+Keccak algorithm consists of "absorbing" the bits into the sponge, and then
+"squeezing" the bits out.
+
+Both the absorption and squeezing phases invoke "inner keccak", which is where
+all the real bit-churning happens. (These are the Greek letter steps in the
+standard).
