First principles
----------------

The ZOZ and WIZ are based on these four fundamental principles:

   (1) All computing hardware can be reduced to a set of basic computational objects.

   (2) All computing software can be reduced to a series of communications of data
       from one computational object to another.

   (3) Every object, hardware or software, is assigned a unique serial number when
       created or manufactured. These serial numbers are unique in the entire universe.

   (4) The single control mechanism is an "instruction" of the form:

                " A -> B "

       This instruction tells the ZOZ to flow data from object A to object B,
       where "A" and "B" are the serial numbers of any two objects.

This last is the ONLY operation of the ZOZ: it can move data from one object to another as directed by instructions of the form "A -> B". This is no other kind of instruction, and no other kind of operation. The only function of the ZOZ is copying data from A to B.

Thus the entire paradigm of the ZOZ is embodied in this one symbolic statement:

                 A -> B
