Which, as an addressing scheme, strongly resembles the enumeration scheme Niklas Luhmann used for his infamous Zettelkasten, which I'd strongly encourage you to look into if Xanadu interests you at all.
(Note that the information, like most information, about "Radix economy" [an extremely ill-defined concept] given there by Hayes ignores the fact that Balanced Ternary in fact has a higher capacity than unsigned ternary, for a demonstration of this basically ignored-everywhere fact, see here: https://web.archive.org/web/20090312094241/http://abhijit.in..., and before you think that page looks weird, here, have Marvin Minsky commenting positively on it: https://archive.fo/gL2Bv; OR simply try to think about how digit sums & digital roots work in Balanced Ternary vs. in Ternary)
Why bring up "Martha Stewart's File Cabinet"? Because one of the mistakes with the Xanadu Tumbler scheme consists, in my opinion, of the fact that it doesn't use balanced ternary for the addressing, making the addresses unnecessarily long AND more difficult to handle in general. (Cf. the properties of the file cabinet as outlined by Hayes in the article)

All of these implementation methods that Ted proposed have failed. Mimix will not include transcopyright, tumblers, or enfilades. It will, however, address many of the original goals of Xanadu and some Ted didn't think of.
Why?

And to stick with the Zettelkasten comparision for a moment, see also "Martha Stewart’s File Cabinet" here: http://bit-player.org/wp-content/extras/bph-publications/AmS...

My current hope for a Xanadu-like system rests, in a way, on this new feature of Pijul 0.11, which basically "solves" transclusion & versioning:
