+information originates from. We study structures in which data's relationships
+build connections in a hyperstructure. Our goal is to implement hyperstructure
+which should be easy to edit and navigate, and support deep linking (links
+do not break). Our ideology is based on Ted Nelson's ideas, i.e., Xanalogical
