"The program should, in some way, expand the concept of what computer paint programs are, as well as what mark making can be."
is the intuition that you should use custom shaders / SDF rendering when your dataset is denser than the screen (maps, plots with millions of points, big graphs, ZUIs) -- keep all the data on GPU, only touch what pixels on the screen actually need -- and use traditional canvas-style 2D rendering when your dataset is sparser than the screen?
I guess the dream is that you could have single-use memory addresses for immutable data, where once an object is allocated at an address, you have a guarantee that the address will always refer to that object https://social.omar.website/@omar/statuses/01HX5DRDAZ3YFN7NEEX7NK93YY

rebooting your computer because you ran out of address space
Physical computing idea (this is how I keep thinking I'd use NFC, have a set of many readers / tap points that have specific meanings)
so much of using any tool on the computer is just about struggling to select the object that you want to operate on
I was worried there was a thermal issue but it turned out it was just running out of memory :-)
