- these terms i'm setting are just first drafts so we can communicate more efficiently
- these are not necessarily terms will will use to communicate to the general public with
- we have two main nav/explore interfaces:
  - world - meaning exploring the strugglethru world of many stories
  - story - meaning exploring the chapters and subchapters (the content) of a particular story
- i will speak of different screen objects or icons that represent different objects within the strugglethru world
  - community
    - 3d = sphere
    - 2d = a circle
  - story
    - 3d = box
    - 2d = square
  - chapter
    - 3d = pyramid
    - 2d = triangle
  - subchapter
    - has no assigned object right now
    - because it is the lowest level object in our nav
    - i thought it needed no icon to rep it
    - the lack of an icon is identifier enough
    - meaning text with no icon in the nav screen = subchapter
    - but you may feel we need some icon object to connect lines to in the global view
      - what's a good 4th icon to imagine in 3d space and to use in 2d space?
        e.g. a barbell
- we are using the GE healthymagination graphic temple
  - i will sometimes just use the term template or graphic template to refer to this solution concept/execution
  - it has two different presentations of the same data
    - global - the one with icons and titles radiating out from a ring boundary
    - scattered - the one where the dots are scattered about in space
- standpoint = is the place a player stands in the overall story world
