Thanks! My informal solution is indeed to store pieces of paper in the boxes that refer to aisle and shelf numbers in a store room! So we're on the same lines!

But I don't usually add this when writing about the analogy since with every analogy, you need to stop somewhere!

I like the storeroom idea. If some storage bins are locked, you have immutable data.

Yeah, that’s always the thing about analogies for those without a lot of background. Where do you go on the simple-complex axis?
