In the great POSIX, Windows vs. Apple filesystems debate, and iPad "what is a file", the great AI Overlords propose: "what if the filesystem was soup?". Manufacturer instructions, public data, and user's instructions and data, all sort of swimming together.

Could also phrase it "What if the filesystem was SOUP?"

Apple tried that with the Newton [1]. It worked pretty well!
