Ted Nelson named them Enfilades. Guy Steele called them Monoid Cached Trees.


Actually I think it was Roger Gregory or Mark Miller who came up with the term "enfilade", and I don't think enfilade wids and dsps have to be monoids necessarily. I'm not sure, though.


Enfilade trees were going to be my suggestion for this page? Really nice structures. Such a shame the writing describing them is so hermetic in style - dispative and widdative properties, really, come on now.


Rodney Bates called his independent invention of them K-Trees.
