 # Metanix
-*Declare your infrastructure!*

+_Declare your infrastructure!_
 
 **THIS IS STILL IN DESIGN AND EXPERIMENTATION PHASE**
 
 ## Description
+
 Metanix is a nix library designed to allow a central, no-nonsense nix file to be written to allow for a Source of Truth leading to deterministic configuration identifiers like IP addresses, UIDs, GIDs, and enable quickly establishing frameworks for NixOS systems existing within an ecosystem.
 As such, I am trying to design this system to enable a would-be admin to answer very simple one-word questions. Sort of.
 
 ## What?
+
 Or, in other words, what systems do you want Metanix to manage or at least be aware of?
 
 ## Where?
+
 Or, in other words, what networks and subnets do you have and where do your systems/users belong?
 
 ## Who?
+
 Or, in other words, who are your users?
 
 ## How?
+
 Or, in other words, what kind of access control groups do you want or need to best control how everything is used.
 
 ## Enter: THINGS
