Description
a few ideas I don't want to lose, so throwing them up here:
using a ND array to define a field on a 2D structured mesh where assoc between field values and the elements is fully specified (vs blueprints implicit i,j relationship)
These examples are for a 10x10 element mesh:
scalar field:
```
field:
values: [ lots of values]
topology: "topo"
association: "element"
shape: [ 10, 10]
indices: [ "i","j"] # order corresponds to shape above, names matter
strides: [ blah,blah] # optional
```
vector field:
```
field:
values: [ lots of values]
topology: "topo"
association: "element"
shape: [ 10, 10, 3 ]
indices: [ "i", "j", "v"] # order corresponds to shape above, "i" and "j" names matter
strides: [ blah,blah,blah] # optional
```
using a ND array to define a field o on an unstructured mesh where assoc between field values and the elements is fully specified (vs implicit id ->element relationship)
These examples are for a 100 element mesh:
scalar field:
```
field:
values: [ lots of values]
topology: "topo"
association: "element"
shape: [ 100]
indices: [ "id" ] # "id" name matters
strides: [ blah,blah] # optional
```
vector field:
```
field:
values: [ lots of values]
topology: "topo"
association: "element"
shape: [ 100, 3 ]
indices: [ "id","v"] # "id" name matters
strides: [ blah,blah] # optional
```

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

Research direction
The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the existing field and topology representation against the scalar and vector YAML examples; done requires a decided, fully specified ndarray model for structured and unstructured meshes.
