More diagram detail

[mixmix]

I loved reading this spec, and I also found some of the diagrams helped, but could have had some more detail. This issue is testing to see whether you're interested in contributions which improve the accessibility of some of the diagrams!

I did a little mockup of that might be possible with mermaid diagrams:

flowchart RL

subgraph level_2_a [ ]
    subgraph level_1_a [ ]
        subgraph A_label [3b0n..]
          A
        end

        subgraph B_label [00ab..]
          B
        end
    end

    subgraph level_1_b [ ]
        subgraph C_label [4hdn..]
          C
        end

        subgraph D_label [j39a...]
          D
        end

        subgraph E_label [000m...]
          E
        end
    end
end

subgraph F_label [3c28...]
  F
end

F --> E --> D --> C --> B --> A

%% #FFB200 - yellow
%% #EB5B00 - orange
%% #D91656 - pink
%% #640D5F - purple

class level_2_a, level_two

This doesn't have to be the direction diagrams go, but I was particularly interested in:

• understanding how the strata boundaries landed more clearly
• visualising the layering
• making diagrams which show how different statum might compress different ranges and how we compare "support" for replication

I'm very open to more diagrams like this, and yours look great. I'm also not committed to Mermaid, it was just the easiest way to get some simple diagrams in a hurry.

If you drop in a PR I will gladly review it. However, I will also note that we are about to open source the Keyhive repository next week and I'll move all of this code to that repository then, so if you do open a PR I'll probably hold off on merging it until we've moved the code and then suggest re-submitting it there so that you get credit for the work.

Thanks @alexjg ! Look forward to seeing the new home + taking code for a spin!
Can you ping me when there''s a clear new home sorted? I'm mix@protozoa.nz
