[MATH] OAX, Multi-Attack, And You

Multi-attack and "Occasionally Attacks X times" are commonly debated subjects and people frequently seem to have trouble dealing with the mathematical reality behind them. It's easy to make assumptions like "You can't sub /WAR when wielding a Kraken Club because the DA interferes with the club too much" or "Double Attack gear interferes with my OA2 polearm so I shouldn't wear any," but a lot of these statements are erroneous and are based in a poor understanding of the mathematics behind this relatively simple system.

I've taken somewhat of a ground-up analytical approach to building the mathematics you'll need to understand multi-attack and OAX, and how they interact. I'll also provide some mathematical tools you can use to "plug and play," so to speak, but the goal here is to provide a guide that will hopefully quell, or at least provide a direct information source to, some of the debates that end up happening on these forums that stem in poor mathematical understanding.
