+  + Mapping of hyperspace to traditional object-oriented programming

+    + Object is a point in space (universe). Each object member
+      variable translates to its own dimension. That is: if class
+      declares 4 variables for an object, then corresponding object
+      can be stored as a single point inside 4 dimensional
+      space. Variable values translate to point coordinates in
+      space. That is: Integer, floating point number and even boolean
+      and string can be translated to linear value that can be used as
+      a coordinate along particular dimension.
+
+    + Each class declares its own space (universe). All class
+      instances (objects) are points inside that particular
+      universe. References between objects of different types are
+      hyperlinks (portals) between different universes.

 - More or less defined [[id:f6764282-a6f6-44e6-8716-b428074dd093][Vision / goal]].

 - Implemented very simple persistent key-value map.
   - Long term goal is to use it as a backing storage engine and
     implement more advanced features on top of this.
