Plato's allegory of the cave applied to web development: HTML/CSS/JS as
shadows on the wall, s-expressions as Forms, the bootstrapper as
demiurge, anamnesis as the wire format's efficiency, the divided line
as SX's rendering hierarchy, and the Form of the Good as the principle
that representation and thing represented should be identical.
