. The distinction from exclusive buckets though, is that you can reference a single datum under multiple different paths! How does that idea feel to you?Nick Smith

07/24/2020, 11:59 AM“buckets”, especially when seen as containers, do assume that these relations have additional properties which makes them less “flexible”.I think the actual interface that users are presented with is going to be the main driver of assumptions about what a bucket means. My definition of "bucket" here means simply an exclusive location that a datum is considered to "live" within. That's extremely broad, and my hope for this thread is that we can work out the relevance and utility of buckets in comparison to tags.
And then you run into questions of identity: if I change that element in one category, does it change everywhere, or does it just change in the current context (was it just a copy)?I actually believe this to be the only difference between buckets and tags. In the presence of mutation, the two concepts may behave differently, and without mutation, they are equivalent. I've not yet had time to develop detailed reasoning as to why this might be the case. I'll hopefully post something here in the next 24h.
