# Introducing N-Angulator
Kevin Haddock

The Unix file system is essentially an N-dimentional sparse array that
currently lacks a decent editor and browser which
can effectively leverage the logical tri-angulation (or, more properly
"n-angulation") of atoms/blobs within it.

N-Angulator is the genesis, to wit, the "Model-T," of such a program.

(see google drive link below for a very old uncirculated prototype
video demo.   Be sure and turn the volume UP!)

# Outline

-   5-10 minutes: (brief description/outline)

The reconceptualization of the Unix file system as the N-Dimensional
sparse array will be discussed.

A simple pre-existing database will be queried.

If time, questions will be entertained by video/audio and/or IRC.

<!--
-   20 minutes: (brief description/outline)

A more in depth real-world example will be built, modified/maintained
in something along the lines of a minimal but typical GTD, BASB, mind
map, or Zettelkasten
notes application.

More questions could be entertained.

-   40 minutes: (brief description/outline)

The need for the origination of the program will be discussed.

A brief examination of the code will be conducted.

The progress of the FSF port from xemacs will be outlined.

Future features, bugs, and conceptual direction time.

Final questions/comments, contact info, and signing out.
