Prior to your post, I was thinking about Track Folders, and wondering whether an example of drilldown might be about stepping down into the folder, so the faders were mapped across the enclosed tracks.

Yeah, you weren't around for the 3 dimensional matrix navigation discussions (lucky you
), but we were struggling with how to best represent the x, y, and z movements intuitively.
Then we realized, we just don't think of DAW navigation in the 3D matrix sense.
It's much more contextual.
Tracks -- banking horizontally (x axis) is natural.
Sends -- banking vertically (y axis) is natural.
Cycle -- (e.g. Pan/Width) here the navigation cycles through various choice -- no idea what axis that is
So, we realized Navigation is a concept not a particular direction.
It is simply what you use to "move around" in a particular Zone.
Navigators will come in as many types as necessary -- each type solves a particular use case.
