VINDEX3
The model is the database.
A SYSTEM BY CHRIS HAY ↗
VINDEX3 is part of Chris Hay’s work on model representation. This dossier records the model-as-database proposition and links to the canonical project.
The model is the database.
THE QUESTION
What changes when a model is approached as structured, addressable material? The proposition directs attention to representation, the relationships between its parts, and execution.
ONE OBJECT · TWO INTERPRETATIONS
A model — a conceptual comparison
- An object to load
- Addressed from the outside
A model — a conceptual comparison — as as a file: an object to load, addressed from the outside. As as a database: parts to address, relationships to inspect.
READ THE SPECIFICATION
The comparison is an explanation of the proposition, not a benchmark or an execution trace. The canonical project is the source for the representation and its technical contract.
