# a nixos config

## mission statement

this config attempts to follow the [synaptic standard](https://github.com/llakala/synaptic-standard/), and is built in an effort to achieve **semantic colocation**.

ideally, our modules are categorised by the purpose they hope to fulfil, and contain all the information necessary to achieve that within their context.

this is in contrast to many configuration styles, which may be structured in a way that is beholden to mechanical details (programs, implementations, module systems, or other scope they may carry).

here, *we do not build our dreams of concrete*.

## mechanism

recursive imports and module aliasing bend the module system/s to our will. 

this allows us to create freeform sets of modules which break down broad goals into manageable units while cross-cutting module system concerns, all with a single toplevel import point.

you can see [entry.nix](./entry.nix) and [util/create.nix](util/create.nix) for the explicit details of how this is done.
