Your exactly correct set of ZigZag axioms

[Ted Nelson <ted@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Carolyn,

You have produced a very nice and compact
 description of the system.  Except I'm not sure
 what this one means--
>	- execute across any dimension

Any cell can of course be executed.
 Executing all the cells on a given dimension
 could be a possible function, but I don't
 see it in the minimalist set you're positing.
 What am I missing?

Best, Ted

>	- add/delete/modify contents of a cell
>	- add/delete/modify links
>	- execute across any dimension
>	- view areas of the space, likely 2 or 3 dimensions at any one time
>	- an overview of the dimensions of the entire space
