Reversibility of operations. Xanadu connections are bidirectional and bifollowable, and correspondingly, all movements by the user through the docuverse should be reversible. Supporting reversible operations at high speed is highly desirable. We are particularly interested in other forms of compression, especially fractal, that will improve performance in the client. Not only is this desirable to meet varied user needs, but it also saves on transmission time and precious bandwidth.
Fast simulations are important for similar reasons.
Corresponding vamping methods must provide fulfilling animations and screen events until materials arrive over the network. So these too must be specifiable in the high-performance client. Benefits of high screen performance. There has always been a tradeoff between screen area and resolution and fast performance. The more performance, the bigger the screen will seem to be.
