Big Sky creates opportunities to think about, explore and build things out of fundamental metaphors, data structures, ideas, collections and processes. In general, they are called Concepts. Concepts can point to things as big as “Stellar Nurseries” and as small as “Atomic Objects” and the simplest possible Relations which connect those “Atomics Objects.”
