 # Architecture
 ## CRITICAL
-With these things in place
+With these things in place, we're in tip top shape:
 [ ] Linkability / Appendability of library GeoNodes groups, including being able to semantically ask for a particular GeoNodes tree without 'magic strings' that are entirely end-user-file dependent, is completely critical. especially
+[ ] Simplify the boilerplate needed to add a particular 3D preview driven by the input sockets of a particular GeoNodes group. It's currently hard for all the wrong reasons, and greatly halts our velocity in developing useful 3D previews of any/everything.
+	[ ] Finalize Viewer node unit systems.
+	[ ] Introduce a simplified (maybe caching) method of translating sympy-enabled values, ex. 'Center', into values for external use (ex. in a Tidy3D object or in a Blender preview) based on
+	[ ] Abstract the actual unit system dict-like data structure out from the UnitSystem socket.
 [ ] Ship the addon with libraries of GeoNodes groups (with NO dependency on the addon), which are linked (internal use) or appended (end-user-selected structures) when needed for previewing.
 - I don't know that library overrides are the correct approach when it comes to structures used by the end-user. It's extremely easy to make a change to a library structure (or have one made for us by a Blender update!) that completely wrecks all end-user simulations that use it, or override it. By appending, the structure becomes 'part of' the user's simulation, which also makes it quite a bit easier for the user to alter (even drastically) for their own needs.
 [ ] License header UI for MaxwellSimTrees, to clarify the AGPL-compatible potentially user-selected license that trees must be distributed under.
-[ ] Simplify the boilerplate needed to add a particular 3D preview driven by the input sockets of a particular GeoNodes group. It's currently hard for all the wrong reasons, and greatly halts our velocity in developing useful 3D previews of any/everything.
