Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The syntax of these entity types is difficult to understand, too long to type and obfuscates their function. As I read through the forum it was easier to understand the yaml early on when 'remaining_parent_state' was just 'remaining'. The counterpart 'remaining_child_state' is poorly named since it is a sum and not a remainder. The combination of the two makes it hard to quickly understand the yaml code.

Describe the solution you'd like
remaining_child_state > sum_children
remaining_parent_state > remaining

Describe alternatives you've considered
sum_of_children
remainder_prior_section
section_remainder
remainder

**Additional context
I think these small syntax changes would make the card more approachable for new and experienced users alike.

It's not the sum though. It's the remainder of the sum in both directions. And remainder_of_child_sum/remainder_of_parent_sum doesn't seem like a big improvement
