The core principle is that digital text documents contain a structured sequence comprising both visible glyphs and invisible control characters (whitespace, breaks, anchors) that define logical layout properties rather than just visual representation. This theory posits that document fidelity requires the identification of specific abstract entities—including spaces, tabs, paragraph marks, page/section/column/layout breaks, links, and text anchor points—to manage formatting constraints such as line wrapping, column distribution, and object flow within a typographic domain. The mechanism relies on toggling visibility to isolate these control elements for precise manipulation, distinguishing between semantic content boundaries (paragraphs) versus spatial layout directives in computing environments.
