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.
