1. Cell's Property  (dot)
   A.name
2. Cell's Children Cells (forward slash)
   A/temp
3. Cell's Parent Cells (back slash)
   A\temp
4. Logicals
   Recursive Text replacement of root variable name
   Logical temp = disk/A/temp
   B = temp/picture 1
   
5. Cell / Property Versions
   Extended to keep multiple versions of a cell
   A.Name:-1
   A:23
   
6. Wildcard Naming Conventions
   *      multiple any chararters, 
   %    a single any character
   #     multiple numeric characters
   @   a single alphabet character
   booleans, (not, or, and)
   list = A.picture_@%%%
   list = A.(not #)
   list = A.#
7. A list of Names
   list = B.(apples,pears,bananas);
8. A text based name
   A = B."Something different".size
9. Recursive children search
   list = A../temp
10. Recursive parent search
    list = A..\temp
11. Cell Content search
    list = A.?Apples*?
12. Cell Select statement search
    list =  A.~~select * where ...~~

Just twelve vague examples. The actual is much more extensive and in context.

"Chaos was the law of nature; Order was the dream of man." -- Henry Adams

"Order and simplification are the first steps towards mastery of a subject" -- Thomas Mann

 "Each move is dictated by the previous one--that is the meaning of order"  -- Tom Stoppard

"People try to make names for things they don't understand" -- Rene Denfeld

"The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking." -- Albert Einstein

"Inconceivable! You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." -- William Goldman

Jane's Addressing Scheme:
Jane, my software development system will have an extended information naming convention.  Jane will have only one naming convention. All data structures will be encapsulated in one huge name space. All file, folder, and memory structures will be the same under Jane's naming conventions.

1. Primary Value (Text, Number, Date, ...)
2. Named (non-numeric) list of values
3. Numbered list of values
4. Cell's details
       vertical partitions
       horizontal partitions
       cast structures
       dimensions
       container of
       can contain
       Indexes
       temporary values
       hidden values
       cast possibilities
       permanent storage location
       versions
       edits
5. Cell's child folders
6. Cell's partition container
   the cell's partition cell that contains a list of cells, one for each partition
7. Cell's value properties
8. Cell's Logic Scripts / Machine code
9. Cell's creation history details and logic

Jane manages all hardware requests independent of the operating system, device drivers, or custom coding.

A value (i.e. CELL) once found, places itself into context, then all parts of itself, and its relationship to other cells will be known and searchable. Current compiler technology hides itself, and most data structures relating to the actions that produce results. However with access to all of the compiler's data structures, an application will have the ability to extend the compiler's basic capabilities.

Automated searches by Jane will be restricted to a minimum.  Just because it can be done has made the programming process too complex with too many assumptions and with far too many restrictions. Instead Jane will move toward a context search.  Context is initially set with an explicit term. Context must be understood by everyone, in the same context that Jane understands.  All terms of the base people, places, and things will be resolvable by Jane and then can be queried by the user to its exact meaning. 

Monitor => Localhost.Monitors.User's Main
Screen => Application.Active.Form.Display

Once a base context cell is resolved by Jane, search is then turned over to the cell for all related searches.

Monitor.Size =>
LocalHost.Monitors.User's Main.Area

Each cell has the option of using the conventional Jane search logic. However Jane is a "load on demand" system, and conventional compiler search logic may be a thing of the past.

Jane changes software design from logic using data structures to data structures with context sensitive logic attached on demand.  This change allows Jane to concentrate on the management on the data structures independent of purpose.
