# 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 in the given contents.
this is in contrast to many configuration styles which may be structed in a way that is beholden to mechanical details (ie. programs, interfaces, module systems they use).
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 targeted at broad purposes 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.
