Not quite. I have the coordinate system to allow some form of global
mapping and equations of the form, "Bubba is at coords x,y,z in domain
####, and therefore he is thataway from here." The intention in the
end is to eventually extend the coordinate system to a full 3D
presentation ala Alphaworld without their VRML simplifications.
It also makes represneting certain sorts of confusing geometical forms
*much* easier from an area programming perspective.

I'm pretty sure I have the wrong title for that book, tho it was
undoubtedly a Vance. The style I remember is unmistakable.
