+ * Zipcodes are structures that store distance index information for a node in a graph.
+ * Their basic structure is a vector of "codes", with one code for each snarl tree node 
+ * (node/snarl/chain) that is the ancestor of the node, starting with the root-level
+ * structure and going down to the node.
+ * Each code has an identifier and information used to calculate distances.
+ *
+ * A zipcode_t stores the information and can be used to create a zipcode. It can be used
+ * to calculate the distance between zipcodes
+ *
+ * A zipcode_decoder_t is used for interpreting zipcodes to find specific values that were
+ * stored in the zipcode_t. A zipcode_decoder_t must be constructed from a specific zipcode.
+ * Construction of a decoder occurs one code at a time, starting from the root snarl or chain, 
+ * so it is possible to have a partially constructed zipcode_decoder_t, to avoid having to 
+ * walk through the entire zipcode_t to get the values for things higher in the snarl tree.
+ * The full decoder must be constructed to get values for the node.

+      The tree will represent the seeds' placement in the snarl tree.
+      Each node in the tree represents either a seed (position on the graph) or the 
+      boundary of a snarl or chain.
       Edges are labelled with the distance between the two nodes
 
       This graph is actually represented as a vector of the nodes and edges
-      Each item in the vector represents either a node (seed or boundary) or an edge (distance)
-      TODO: Fill in a description once it's finalized more
+      Each item in the vector represents either a node (seed or boundary), an edge (distance),
+      or the child count of a snarl
+
+      A chain in the vector is bounded by a CHAIN_START and a CHAIN_END.
+      The chain is comprised of alternating children (seed or snarl) and the distances between them.
+      For a root-level chain, there are no distances from the CHAIN_START/_END to the children.
+      For all other chains, the order would be:
+        CHAIN_START, distance, child, distance, child, ..., distance, CHAIN_END
+      The distances represent the number of nucleotides on the minimum-length path in the variation graph
+      between the structures that the zip code tree nodes represent.
+      For distances terminating at a SEED, the distance includes the nucleotide the position is on.
+      For distances terminating at a SNARL_START or SNARL_END, the distance reaches the inner edge
+      (relative to the snarl) of the boundary node, so it includes the length of the boundary node of the snarl
+      For example, given a subgraph of a chain:
+
+                              n3
+                            [GACG] ...
+            n1      n2    / 
+            [A] - [AGAC]
+                          \   n4
+                            [ACAG] ...
+
+      for the sequence "SEED EDGE SNARL_START" representing a seed on n1 and the snarl starting at n2,
+      the edge value would be 5.
+
+
+      A snarl in the vector is bounded by a SNARL_START and a SNARL_END.
+      A snarl is comprised of the two bounds, one or more chains, and the distances among them.
+      SEEDs are always contained within a chain.
+      For each element of the snarl (boundary or child chain), the distance to each element preceding
+      it in the snarl is stored before the element.
+      The distances are stored in reverse order of the elements that they reach.
+      Immediately before the SNARL_END, there is a NODE_COUNT storing the number of children in the snarl
+      A snarl would look like:
+          SNARL_START, dist:start->c1, chain1, dist:c1->c2, dist:start->c2, chain2, ..., 
+                ..., dist:c2->end, dist:c1->end, dist:start->end, node_count, SNARL_END
+
+
+      Everything is ordered according to the order of the highest-level chain (top-level chain or child
+      of a top-level snarl).
+      For children of a snarl, the children are ordered according to the distance to the start of the snarl,
+      and if that value is equal, in reverse order to the distance to the end of the snarl.
+      In the variation graph, all chains are considered to be oriented "forward" in their parent snarl.
+      However, in a start-to-end traversal of the snarl, the child chain may be traversed end-to-start.
+      These chains would be considered to be reversed in the zip code tree, so the order of the children
+      of the chain may be backwards relative to their order in the variation graph.
+      If a snarl is the child of a chain that is traversed backwards in the zip tree, then that snarl
+      and all its children are also traversed backwards.

+
+      Construction is done in a depth-first pre-order traversal of the snarl tree. So when each 
+      snarl tree node is visited, the start of the structure is added to the zip tree, then each of 
+      its children is added to the zip tree, then the end of the structure is added.
+      
+      The traversal of the snarl tree is accomplished by progressively sorting the seeds to identify
+      the snarl tree structures that they lie on. Using the zip codes, the seeds can be sorted at 
+      each depth separately. The seeds get sorted using a radix-like sort, starting with the root of 
+      the snarl tree and moving down. So first, the seeds are sorted into connected components. The 
+      components are saved as "intervals" that remember the range in the sort order that the seeds 
+      occur on. Each interval of seeds represents a root-level snarl or chain. Each interval is then
+      sorted to order the seeds along the snarl or chain, and new intervals are found representing 
+      ranges of seeds on the children.
+
+      Each snarl and chain is comprised of the start and end bounds, the children, and distances 
+      between children/bounds. So as each child is added, we will need to know what came before it
+      in the parent snarl/chain so that we can add the distances. We also need to remember the 
+      ancestors of each snarl and chain as we are building them, so that we can close each structure
+      properly. All of this information is stored in a forest_growing_state_t as the zip trees are 
+      being built.

       Construction is done in a depth-first traversal of the snarl tree. So when each

+      the structure is added.
       
       The traversal of the snarl tree is accomplished by progressively sorting the seeds to identify
-      the snarl tree structures that they lie on. Using the zip codes, the seeds can be sorted at 
-      each depth separately. The seeds get sorted using a radix-like sort, starting with the root of 
-      the snarl tree and moving down. So first, the seeds are sorted into connected components. The 
-      components are saved as "intervals" that remember the range in the sort order that the seeds 
-      occur on. Each interval of seeds represents a root-level snarl or chain. Each interval is then
-      sorted to order the seeds along the snarl or chain, and new intervals are found representing 
-      ranges of seeds on the children.
-
-      Each snarl and chain is comprised of the start and end bounds, the children, and distances 
-      between children/bounds. So as each child is added, we will need to know what came before it
-      in the parent snarl/chain so that we can add the distances. We also need to remember the 
-      ancestors of each snarl and chain as we are building them, so that we can close each structure
-      properly. All of this information is stored in a forest_growing_state_t as the zip trees are 
-      being built.

+      each snarl tree structure separately. Seeds along a chain are sorted to be ordered along a 
+      chain, and seeds in a snarl are sorted by the child of the snarl that they are on. The seeds 
+      get sorted using a radix-like sort on each structure at each depth of the snarl tree, starting
+      with the root and moving down. 
+      "Intervals" of seeds in the sort order are used to keep track of the location on the snarl 
+      tree. An interval represents a range of seeds that are all on the same snarl tree structure.
+      After sorting an interval at one depth, sub-intervals representing the children can be found.
+      So first, the seeds are sorted into connected components and sliced into intervals 
+      representing root-level snarls and chains. Each interval is then sorted to order the seeds
+      along the snarl or chain, and new intervals are found representing ranges of seeds on the 
+      children.
+
+      Sorting and tree-building are done at the same time, progressively at each structure in the
+      snarl tree. The order of tree-building is based on a stack of intervals. The algorithm starts 
+      with an interval for each child of the root snarl. An interval is popped from the stack. Any 
+      incomplete snarls or chains that the interval is not a child of must be completed. Then, the
+      snarl or chain that the interval represents is started in the zip tree, and any relevant 
+      distances are added. Intervals representing the children of the snarl or chain are found and
+      added to the stack. This repeats until the stack is empty.
