How a body holds its parts

  1. garden{seed.water}One name. The dot keeps seed.water whole, as a path names one thing.edit pivot
  2. garden{seed, water}Held together. Both are there at once, and their order says nothing.edit pivot
  3. garden{seed; water}In order. Seed comes first, and the order is part of what it says.edit pivot
  4. garden{seed ~> water}A path. Seed is carried on to water, and the two stay two.edit pivot

Which wall a word sits in

  2. garden{care}What it holds: care is inside the garden.edit pivot
  3. garden(care)The scene: the garden where care is.edit pivot

A line, or a file

garden[care]{seed; water; harvest}
garden[care]{
  seed;
  water;
  harvest
}

The same line, chopped down. It reads the same; a file earns its lines once a part grows braces of its own. Edit the file
