Explanations

This section is a conceptual guide to annnet.

• Design principles: the decisions that shape annnet.
• Package architecture: how the object model and package modules fit together.
• Internal representation: the in-memory graph model.
• Mutation and derived state: how writes propagate through registries, overlays, and caches.
• Incidence representation: the graph formalism underneath the package.
• Multilayer and multi-aspect graphs: how annnet models layered graph state.
• Slices and views: how one graph can hold several contexts without duplication.
• Interoperability: what annnet keeps, what other tools expect, and how conversion works.
• Storage and IO: native persistence and exchange formats.
• Tracking changes: mutation history, snapshots, and diffs.
