The concept was to reference with other languages where higher-dimensional representation breaks down because of initial implicit hardware issues / assumptions at language design time. examples: lisp -- mapping to popular stack/register hardware. C -- pointers & malloc implications snobol's successor icon -- pre-database '70's design descision on how to handle 'table' type (where today table can be key:pair, graph, document, heirarchy and not just a vector set)
