Abstract
Systems and methods for providing a multi-dimensional file system are provided. Instead of the limited parent-child relationships provided by traditional folder tree file systems, embodiments of the present disclosure may provide file system relationships in an arbitrary number of dimensions to provide greater flexibility in organizing files, navigating the file system, and/or launching executable instructions. A user may navigate among files by traversing links between neighboring files, and/or may access specific files by specifying a location of the specific file in the multi-dimensional space.
