2022-08-04reword introductory sectionValentin Gagarin
there should be a meta section for each chapter to give motivation of the presented structure. the structure itself is visible from the table of contents.
2022-08-04remove sentence for chapter transitionValentin Gagarin
idea: sections could be read in different orders by linking them in different ways (e.g. depth-first or breadth-first). adding hard-coded transitions makes that confusing.

trying to capture alternative terms in one go here, mirroring everyday use: derivation - build plan realise - execute build there will be more of that sort.
2022-08-04Add draft "Rosetta stone" by @fricklerhandwerk and stub commentaryJohn Ericson
The idea and most of the execution are @fricklerhandwerk's. I changed a few things best I could based on @edolstra's corrections, and a Bazel glossary. Valentin Gagarin <valentin@fricklerhandwerk.de>

2022-08-04WIP: Document the design of NixJohn Ericson
The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why are things the way they are". I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people currently turn to the thesis for. I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.
