ZigZag The ZigZag system is very hard to explain, especially since it resembles nothing else in the computer field that we know of, except perhaps a spreadsheet cut into strips and glued into loops. It is a PRINCIPLED SYSTEM OF INTERCONNECTION. Lists and Spreadsheets are rational ways of connecting things, but they have shortcomings. Hierarchical directories are a standard way of connecting things, but they have extreme shortcomings. The ZigZag structure (we don't know the best term-- zzstructure, zzspace, quantum hyperspace?) is extremely simple but has remarkable properties. It can be built into almost anything, and has default visualizations.
