As I recall, the admittedly tepidly-named "Sequence" space was a space whose Positions were an ordered sequence of positions in some other space. Thus, TumblerSpace is properly Sequence<Integer>. I was pretty sure that Tumblers were still around, since everybody loved the name too :) (But they were certainly not as central as they used to be.)

There was another parameterized space, maybe called Box?, which would describe a multidimensional space. For example, an Edition in the space Box<IEEE64,IEEE64,IEEE64> could describe a CAD drawing. Add an integer dimension for part numbers and you can describe parts in a Cad drawing. Or link objects in the space to associated documents.

The Ent inspired me to adopt the creed: "good object-oriented design means doing almost nothing in just enough places."

Well, who the madmen are depends on the whose history you read. In the most accurate history, we are probably all madmen :)

But in mythic prose, "madmen" and "prophet" are equally flattering :)

A truly, overwhelmingly impressive piece of spelunking, Oh Postmonster. This thread is like a sacred river for me to contemplate in my stately pleasure dome.

The traditional drawing of the Ent required 9 colors, because with any less, one's brain would collapse in a fuddle. When originally contemplating the design, we had to speak very slowly and carefully lest we risk befuddling again.

Tour articulations and drawings are things of beauty! Please continue posting and I will less literately fill in the occasional void.
