Valentin Gagarin a28d6878b2 concept map: put closure as it is in the chapter

Valentin Gagarin 631ca18ee6 reword notes on copying
clarify that we are copying between different stores. we have not
introduced that notion or why it would be interesting, but for now it

we could move that later to a more detailed explanation of different
store types.
