+As an example of our structure we show blocks of contents of this article. 
+Before this we have to explain xanadu and system surrounding it shortly.
+In xanadu all characters typed in becomes 
+media of xanadu text block. 
+Also the articles referred to this one 
+consist actually of pixels in 2D media: xanadu image blocks.
+As it states in xanadu world everything you produce is unique:
+every xanadu media has it's own identity.
+
+
+We need a way to collect and get in order all needed media blocks. 
+Collecting is done with enfilade 
+which is tree of pieces of xanadu blocks. 
+For example this article can be think of in typed text and links to other 
articles.
+The links are only a small clips to other articles. 
+The wholeness is pieces of the text and between them are pieces of referring 
articles.
+
+...explain enfilade
+
+...this makes it possible to make annotations to article.

+To be able to make good use of all the possibilities of xanadu
+we have orthogonal structure based on cells.
+Cell is connected to enfilade and cell's. 
+position can be layed with placement coordinates.
+After this we are able to present cells, 
+transclusions from xanadu blocks, in spatial canvases.
+We think it is fair to call the whole environment 
+human friendly which is the one of the most important 
+developement issues we have prioritise. 
+User friendlynes appears in a new light when
+new document is created using well-known cut&paste method.
+All productions made before are transclusions in the new 
+document and the originals are behind xanadu link - easily available for 
exploration.
