# Design and Data Model
Most of the manual is about how to use Nix.
This chapter is about what Nix actually is.
The hope is that it can serve as a reference for key concepts, and also shed light on why things are the way they are.
This chapter is about the technical principles behind Nix.
It describes each architectural layer and its components in its own section, starting at the bottom with the store layer, then working its way up to the user-facing components described in the rest of the manual.
