&gt;&gt; FWIW I'd strongly recommend using a sparse array and interpolating the
&gt;&gt; missing chunks at runtime.

&gt;Especially if you have a lot of coordinates. I'm probably going to
&gt;set it up so you can leave anything that counts as 'normal'
&gt;undefined, and will be set as 0+/- a small variance for magical flux
&gt;(or somesuch). For instance there is no need to implicitly declare
&gt;neutral Ph, or Nil magical capacitance in a substance.

My first thought was a sparse array where say a particular node might
have value Q, and a node further along the same axis might have a
value R.  The system would then linearly interpolate the node values
between.  Thus only the nodes which marked points of change in
gradient would have to be defined.
