 No matter which view you're using, when the event is shown
 somewhere, the RDF connection to Carli will be shown--
-as a buoy.

+as a buoy.
+
+If you click on "Carli," what will be shown depends on your
+view settings. I expect that you will be able to select
+different views for the different types of nodes you have;
+so when you have selected "spiral time view" for events,
+when your focus is on "Carli," that setting has no effect,
+because Carli isn't an event, but when you go back to the
+meeting event (all connections are bi-directional), it
+will be shown in the time view.
+
+If no other view is specified for a node type, a basic
+Loom view will be used. So if you have no view setting
+for people, when you click on "Carli," you'll look at
+a Loom structure. Connected negwards on ``event:with``
+will be the meeting.
+
+In the loom view, the meeting will generally be shown as a node
+no larger than any Loom node, no matter what your special
+view settings for events are when those events are focused.
+But when you actually move onto the event, the spiral time view
+will again occupy most of the screen and the RDF connections
+will only be shown as buoys.
+
+(It is then vital that the Loom bindings work for buoys.)
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Therefore, any node's RDF properties can be shown
+as buoys. (A side-effect is that this can always be used
+for introspection, e.g. you can make the x/y positions
+of objects on a canvas visible through this mechanism.)
+
+Many applitudes will deeply make use of this. You don't
+need to come up with a way to show details about an event
+in a calendar view; you simply tell users to show
+these-and-these RDF properties as buoys.
+
+This makes applitudes naturally extensible: The user needs
+some more, the user shows some more. When you add properties,
+it looks natural and integrated, because the applitude
+*always* uses this mechanism to show additional information.
