I need help naming a thing...
Imagine you have layers that stack vertically, with a one to one relationship, the output of one is fed up the stack and each component takes in, modifies, and passes along.
We call this a "Stack"
What would be a good word for the horizontal equivalent, that is one item sits on top of two or more layers and routes and/or merges between them. Preferably something with a conceptual connection to the idea of a stack.

  You might want to replace "fart" with whatever your mission is. Mine is farting as much as i can.

    Stack (abstract data type)
    
    In computer science, a stack is an abstract data type that serves as a collection of elements with two main operations: Push, which adds an element to the collection, and Pop, which removes the most recently added element.Additionally, a peek operation can, without modifying the stack, return the value of the last element added. The name stack is an analogy to a set of physical items stacked one atop another, such as a stack of plates. The order in which an element added to or removed from a stack is described as last in, first out, referred to by the acronym LIFO. As with a stack of physical objects, this structure makes it easy to take an item off the top of the stack, but accessing a datum deeper in the stack may require removing multiple other items first.Considered a linear data structure, or more abstractly a sequential collection, a stack has one end which is the only position at which the push and pop operations may occur, the top of the stack, and is fixed at the other end, the bottom. This data structure makes it possible to implement...

  @freemo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_(abstract_data_type) i.e. it's weird to call something else a stack.

  @freemo That stack thing sounds like a pipeline, stack means something else to me. I'd need a picture for the 2nd, can't visualize it from the description.

  @ambihelical pipeline would be a more appropriate term.
  The individual components are called "StackableSail" and they stack on top of eachother.

  @mjambon Yes the fact that it isnt a data type stack is a bit confusing. But because this isnt a variable or object name, but rather a configuration option it is ok by me.

  @sergeant The stack is called a stack.. its the name for the opposite of a stack (a horizontal stack) i was looking for a name for.

  @freemo a bridge? I'm not sure I understand the description correctly but I'm picturing a bunch of "pilings" placed side by side and a "deck" that lies across the top of all of them.
