some thoughts on nD data models

[alisterburt]

I've put together some thoughts on a potential nD data model in which the navigable world is explicitly separated from the rendered world or scene which must be 2D or 3D. If your data is higher dimensionality than the scene then you start adding 'navigable world dimensions' which can be navigated with sliders. There's also an explicit mechanism for both dynamic projections on the CPU and for handling potentially RGB(A) data

Please let me know what you think and definitely ask any clarifying questions - this is a bit of a departure, I purposefuly haven't thought specifically about how the 'slicing' should be done but I like being able to think about the data model separately from that :)

Thanks for taking a look and the positivity! comments were useful for my own thinking, have hopefully cleared things up a bit... merging! will start thinking about slicing
