> A document is not necessarily a simulation of paper. **In the most general sense, a document is a package of ideas created by human minds and addressed to human minds, intended for the furtherance of those ideas and those minds.** Human ideas manifest as text, connections, diagrams and more: thus how to store them and present them is a crucial issue for civilization.

I could and need to do more.
