Claim 8:
9. A method for content creation via interactive layers, comprising:
storing a mutable general object on which to build an artefact, wherein the mutable general object comprises a plurality of n-dimensional data units capable of being rendered in a multi-dimensional display;
displaying an environment represented by the artefact, wherein the artefact comprises layers that each represent a different characteristic of the environment and includes a generator and layer parameters;
assigning to each layer, a unique identifier;
compositing the identifiers for the layers of the artefact;
storing the composited identifiers;
accessing the composited identifiers; and
reconstructing the environment by reconfiguring the artefact for display of the environment after storage using the generator and layer parameters from each of the layers accessed via the composited identifiers, wherein the reconstructed environment is same as the displayed environment.
