Upon this aether a user can place Bubbles. - InstBub is an instance of an object, usually a number, which in turn may be the result of an expression. - MechBub allows the user to define their own functions. - GridBub allows for a tabular arrangement of numbers and expressions similar to a spreadsheet. - TextBub is a node that can be connected to other TextBub nodes in order to create concept maps.  At its heart, this app aspires to make powerful, sophisticated and complex abilities (such as those currently available only to programmers) accessible to a wider audience. this app understands that increasing accessibility does not mean dumbing down an application by hiding complex functionality, it means making that complex functionality understandable by creating explicit visual representations for it.  These bubbles can be connected to each other in order to render sophisticated calculations in a visual (and aesthetic) way.  It has been made possible by the invention of the touch device and this app's clean, efficient and tactile interface, designed for such devices, has been part of its DNA since its inception.  It is a highly ambitious project with much more planned, that hopes to empower users; it hopes to change the way people think about and work with their computers; in short, it hopes to change the world!  This will become Hari Seldon’s Prime Radiant some day. this app is not an attempt to rehash old outdated inventions, but it subsumes much of their functionality.  The calculator, spreadsheet, concept map, programming language: this app is all of them and it's none of them. this app is the first (but certainly not the last) of an entirely new class of app, the calculation sandbox.  Libraries of custom functions can be developed and included in other aethers when needed.  The concept of this app has six different aspects; in its current form it contains only one of these six aspects.  The workspace of this app is a two-dimensional surface known as the Aether.  Come help drive its functionality; come help make this app happen!
