It’s not that hard to grasp if you read up a bit. You are probably born early 1900’s and have never heard of stereophonic recordings. But fear not!! What you are seeing is left + right channel (mono). The left - right channel is encoded vertically. So your left channel is mono + vertical divided by 2, and the right is (mono - vertical) divided by 2.
