wow – sparks a lot of potential to sculpt the interaction space between complex text/table level and a visual configuration plane, it seems to me.
I´d love to experience such options for a finegrained and -customized ‘backside’ set-up (for me text is the ‘backside’, a lot of times 
) – and then ‘play it out’ on the visual plane in a schema board (whiteboard)…
– also saying that bec of @Chr1sG interesting remark about the textual-people and the vision-people ‘at odds’ in thinking, practice & vision.
This kind of an example (+ thinking) is where I would see the ‘two cultures’ cross roads potentially, and grow together…
I´d love to see something like this. Certainly vision inducing.
Just not sure the visual interaction plane is currently on top of the agenda, given Fibery´s current concentration, which you pointed to…
