names for our concept.

"Xyzimuth" didn't go down very well as a name... So I looked into astronomy and other stuff for inspiration for our thruster/control system - that's where the word "azimuth" is from as well. Of course, ours has three dimensions so these all have some relation to that:

hydrosphere the waters covering planet earth
orrery mechanical model of solar system
antikythera ancient wreck with ancient analog computer
