description: 'Zz structures are an interesting way of representing relations invented
  by Ted Nelson. I captured the basic zz structure formalism in a gem Yzz. In this
  gem, YNelson, I combine zz structures with universal Petri nets (provided by another
  gem of mine, YPetri) to obtain a hybrid data structure that formalizes and generelizes
  a spreadsheet. Because let us note that most of the practical spreadsheet implementations
  allow the cell functions to be used so as to represent a Petri net. The cell functions
  can thus be regarded as transitions and cells and places of a Petri net. A spreadsheet
  is thus a kind of a Petri net. At the same time, spreadsheet files are orthogonal
  structures with at least 3 dimensions: x (horizontal), y (vertical) and z (the dimension
  of sheets stacked upon each other). With zz structures, the globally orthogonal
  nature traditional spreadsheet is generalized as a locally orthogonal zz structure,
  with relations represented as zz dimensions. In sum, this generalizes and formalizes
  a spreadsheet. While being textual at the core, YNelson attempts to provide convenience
  at least at the level similar to the actual existing spreadsheet software. Unlike
  YPetri, YNelson can also specify more than one node per command, but this is still
  under development. See the user guide and the documentation for the details. YNelson
  documentation is available online, but due to formatting issues, you may prefer
  to generate the documentation on your own by running rdoc in the gem directory.
  For an example of how YPetri can be used to model complex dynamical systems, see
  the eukaryotic cell cycle model which I released as "cell_cycle" gem.'

summary: A fusion of a universal Petri net with a zz structure that formalizes and
  generalizes spreadsheet. As an extension of YPetri (y_petri) gem, YNelson inherits
  all its capabilities for modelling dynamical systems, but adds the capability to
  represent relations between model nodes and parameters.
