Definition / description
The grand scheme --
Objective -- to build a single hierarchical structure that follows basic/generic computer design from a bit-structure level through a process of assembling data structures composed of bits and bytes, building every type of standard computer data structure, and in those terms, interpreting every element of semantics and mathematics

This is a master-feature of this project. In some ways, it is the grand container for the entire project.
Maybe what we want to do is to offer a single framework that defines all aspects of "the construction of a semantic object"
This task involves several layers
- Hardware -- the mechanism that support the definition
- The interpretation of the "state" of the hardware -- in terms of bits, binary off/on 0/1 two-state logic from which everything grows, and within which, from which, everything is constructed
- The definition of language built on top of this mechanistic framework
- Pixel grid (matrix) of on/off state "in a medium" -- like a computer screen or a sheet of paper
- The creation of fonts and alphabets, so that symbolic representation can be "actual" and not merely "mental" or in the mind
- The construction of numbers
- The construction of "words" from this alphabet
- The assignment of "meaning" to this "symbolic state of a medium"
- The construction of mathematics and logic from this process
- The construction of abstraction and generalization from this process
Definition of the continuum as a digital discrete/state object, from which all distinctions and complex structures are created
