Atomic nature and inversion of heirarchy

The atomic nature of things is that each element of reality or event, has an atomicity, a unique identity, which assigns these events, natures of things, etc., to be a member of a set that can be drawn from to create some ordering.  So to model processes of information; the first order of business is to assign the unique tag, or ID, to the event.
The issue of how to contain events into other events is an issue of ordering, not of the events themselves.  We have the concept of 'data', of functions/transformations and of this 'container' relationship;  are these other things actually instances of something (an event) that can be tagged? They are kind of transient, they are optional concepts for ordering events, so I don't know what the answer should be.  Perhaps any operation should be taggable as an event, and we have to deal with that.
Hierarchy:
Hierarchy can be inverted.  So we should create tags and be able to invert their relationship.  I"m wondering if dimensionality can be derived from this process.
Inverting means the contained element can be made into the container; the relationship can always be inverted.  Outliners like Leo do this with 'clones', and this, to me, causes difficulties and is not an optimal solution.
For example addition is a property of numbers, and numbers are a property of addition.

Word of the moment: bugging

We have to keep bugging people (some call it the 'nudge') and not give up in the gentle bugging to do what's right or fix things.

Word of the moment: Camelot

It is our task to find the Camelot moments; those times when the sky opens briefly, the sun shines for a few moments, then it closes again.
The Obama or Kennedy presidency.  A comfortable productive job or class or relationship.  They don't happen often and when they do, it's all good, but it is our chore to make them in our world, or find them.

Interference

Interference is a great word with many meanings and shades.
Interference can mean the addition of noise to a signal.  However, noise can be meaningful to a different signal, so interference can mean a different signal is interfering.  Or it can mean there is no other signal, it's just noise.
It can mean that another person is interfering with your work.
In football, the runner or catcher can be interfered with.  He is the signal, and the opposing player who is charged with the 'foul' is the noise.
Or perhaps your signal is your pleasure, and someone is interfering with that! (talking about the 'foul').
