An essential component of a seven-dimensional library classification system discovered by Archancelor Scrubbs. Apparently stands in as close a relationship to slood as Space does to Time, or Matter to Energy. It's as clear as daylight, if you remember to keep your eye on the blit. The lads at Brazeneck College have aparently come up with a new algorithm for handling wave-spaces in higher-level blit, which is measured in Drinkies.

Library classifiation is more difficult than you think at first glance. Take what looks to be a nice simple concept, like cabbages.

Books about all mundane and prosaic aspects of the vegetable are shelved under Brassica and coded (blit) UUSSFY890-9046.

Although, obviously, Mr Cauliflower's Big Adventure is better shelved as UUSS J3.2 (>blit) 9

and The Tau of Cabbage will reference to UUSS (blit+)60-sp5-09--hl (blit)

while A Tourist's Guide to Big Cabbage would logically go to UUSSTR (CC) (>blit#) 780-225.

Simple and foolproof, isn't it...
