Summary: Reexamines the conventional file as a programming-language concept and data-processing primitive, arguing its semantics are unsatisfactory. Proposes a new file concept that mimics an intelligent archivist rather than a filing cabinet, reshaping data-management semantics and access. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
