Just a random thought... can probably be reused in some piece of
documentation.
The VOS object model neatly matches the way some people believe our
memory works.
A Vobject maps to a "concept". Each concept is a discrete, very
abstract atom, meaningless in itself. Each concept can have an
unlimited number (theoretically unlimited; there are probably upper
bounds that we haven't reached) of connections to other concepts, each
connection labeled and directional. Although a connection is
directional, you can navigate it both ways. The concept acquires
meaning trough its network of connections to other concepts.
A Property maps to a "memory", which is a piece of "concrete" sensorial
data - a word, an image, a taste, hunger, pain, etc. It can connect to
concepts just like a concept, so in terms of OOP, it "is" also a concept.
