%clay
%clay is our filesystem.
%clay is version-controlled, referentially-transparent, and global.
While this filesystem is stored in %clay, it is mirrored to Unix for
convenience. Unix tells %clays whenever a file changes in the Unix
copy of the filesystem so that the change may be applied. %clay tells
unix whenever an app or vane changes the filesystem so that the change
can be effected in Unix. Apps and vanes may use %clay to write to the
filesystem, query it, and subscribe to changes in it. Ford and gall use
%clay to serve up apps and web pages.
%clay includes three components. First is the filesystem/version
control algorithms, which are mostly defined in ++ze and ++zu in
zuse. Second is the write, query, and subscription logic. Finally, there
is the logic for communicating requests to, and receiving requests from,
foreign ships.
