Interesting, thanks. However, I'm not sure most end users were going to figure this out any sooner than a relational database:
Unlike models in a spreadsheet, Javelin models are built on objects called variables, not on data in cells of a report. For example, a time series, or any variable, is an object in itself, not a collection of cells which happen to appear in a row or column. Variables have many attributes, including complete awareness of their connections to all other variables, data references, and text and image notes. Calculations are performed on these objects, as opposed to a range of cells, so adding two time series automatically aligns them in calendar time, or in a user-defined time frame.
Maybe it's just not well-explained by the Wikipedia authors, or it makes more sense if you see it ...
