2022-08-04add file system object to table of contentsValentin Gagarin
2022-08-04clarify what store objects can be Valentin Gagarin
the store of course makes a distinction, but that is not relevant here
2022-08-04add Java example on manual dependency declarationValentin Gagarin
2022-08-04hashes: truncate -> reduce, mention SHA-256Valentin Gagarin
the longer SHA-256 hashes are not truncated, but in fact processed. Co-authored-by: Thomas <twatson52@mac.com>

2022-08-04use "build plan" consistentlyValentin Gagarin
2022-08-04note customized base32 Valentin Gagarin
Nix omits E O U T characters for some reason.
2022-08-04use correct Nix entity Valentin Gagarin
Nix itself does care a lot about what type of store object you have.

2022-08-04add subsections to table of contentsValentin Gagarin
2022-08-04concept map: align hightsValentin Gagarin
this has the weird but nice emergent property that terms at the same height are roughly at the same level of abstraction.
2022-08-04concept map: put closure as it is in the chapterValentin Gagarin
this is not as compact any more, but it more closely resembles the chapter structure, and clearly shows that the closure property is the key idea on which most of Nix operates.
2022-08-04make concept map even more compactValentin Gagarin
2022-08-04make concept map more compactValentin Gagarin
invert arrows to/from derivation: - we need closures to form derivations - we need derivations to perform builds
2022-08-04store: add concept mapValentin Gagarin
this should help nativate the chapter by indicating which terms should be known to understand a given concept.
2022-08-04store: match chapter introduction to outlineValentin Gagarin
the various levels of detail should describe the same things.
2022-08-04simplify description of diagramValentin Gagarin
try not to be too fancy, it's just for reading the diagram out loud.
2022-08-04reword notes on copyingValentin Gagarin
clarify that we are copying between different stores. we have not introduced that notion or why it would be interesting, but for now it should be fine to keep it in context of the store directory. we could move that later to a more detailed explanation of different store types.
2022-08-04make example a simple listValentin Gagarin
using JSON notation is unwarranted and not explained.
2022-08-04paths -> pathValentin Gagarin
use singular for terminology uniformly
