The structure of our universe can be broken down into components that can help describe the characteristics of individual regions. The main structural components of this cosmic web are the center void, a vast region with low density, and the wall of books, the regions that contain the typical cosmic density of matter in abundance. The wall will be further broken down into smaller structural features, clusters, highly concentrated zones where shelves meet and intersect, adding to the effective size of the local wall and filaments, the branching arms of walls that can stretch for kilometers.

“Until then I had thought each book spoke of the things, human or divine, that lie outside books. Now I realized that not infrequently books speak of books: it is as if they spoke among themselves. In the light of this reflection, the library seemed all the more disturbing to me. It was then the place of a long, centuries-old murmuring, an imperceptible dialogue between one parchment and another, a living thing, a receptacle of powers not to be ruled by a human mind, a treasure of secrets emanated by many minds, surviving the death of those who had produced them or had been their conveyors.” Umberto Eco
