the diagram is a first approximation and only covers that same section.
of course there is much more going on, and other features should at some
point also be illustrated.
we also have to think about presentation format and technicalities
behind it. the manual has to render to `man`, but we may want something
more refined for web view.
there should be a meta section for each chapter to give motivation of
the presented structure. the structure itself is visible from the table
of contents.
The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why
are things the way they are".
I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we
would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people
currently turn to the thesis for.
I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.
