ok, I see how your understanding of the underlying machine informs your
description of the tree structure. Being aware of lists as chains of cons
cells is still not intuitive for me. But I'll practice this view, since I
agree that your explanation is simpler and more deeply true.

Correct. The special symbol \~
OH! I think I'm getting it!
for example, 'simul is '(\~ ("permute" ("shuffle" ("flood" ("G" NIL "gen"
("DX" NIL "DY" ("FX") "FY" NIL "Col") "game" ("grid" ("Grid")) "west"
("east" ("East" ("disp")) "West")) "south" ("north" NIL "South") "border"))
"subsets" ("samples")))

ok, I kinda see.
So, I have another question: Is the 'pico tree namespace built the same way
as any namespace of any 'loaded file? like, (load '@lib/simul.l) populates
the 'simul symbol with the names defined inside the '@lib/simul.l file. Is
the process for creating the 'simul namespace the same

You are
I've realized that the 'pico namespace is a tree, but I can't figure out
which kind of tree. It does not seem fit with a binary tree structure.
So, what's the structure of namespaces, and what's the algorithm for
organizing the symbols inside a namespace list?
