> Bottom crums in the granfilade represent atoms. Atoms come in two varieties: characters and orgls. Character bottom crums are stored as spans of characters, rather than individual bytes. These consist of a pointer to a block of physical storage, either in core or on disk, containing the bytes themselves, and an (integer) length, telling the number of bytes in the block. Since each of these bytes has an implicit wid of 0.0.0.0.1, the character span has a wid of 0.0.0.0.〈number of characters in the span〉. Orgl bottom crums are stored in a similar fashion, but instead of literal data bytes, pointers to the fulcrums of orgls (poomfilades) are stored. Was this jargon normal in 1984 because we hadn't invented words like "addresses" and "structs" yet?
