+three coordinate systems:
+
+- the infinite coordinate plane where nodes live. it is centered at 0,0 but nodes can be placed anywhere.
+- the viewport representing what part of the infinite plane the user is looking at. the viewport has an origin in the infinite plane and a width and height
+- the screen onto which characters are drawn. always rooted at 0,0; always has a width and a height that matches the width and height of the viewport
+
+the viewport is the most pressing question. nodes exist in an XY plane and the field view is a viewport onto that plane.
+
+nodes have a "real" X,Y coordinate pair and a width and a height. the viewport has a width, a height, and point A,B from which it originates.
+
+Moving the viewport means changing A,B. To see what should be shown on the screen, compare a node's X,Y to A,B. If X+width > A and Y+height > B && X+width < A+width and Y+maxheight < B+maxheight then it should be shown. For each node, it also has coordinates H,J in the screen based on the viewport position.
+
+But how to reconcile this with tview? can i add all of the nodes to the scene tree then update their H,J as the viewport changes and hope tview just does the right thing? I think I should start there.
