Each chamber had an entrance, and two exit doors. Above the exit doors, illumian letters hovered, asking the scholar a simple question about his search, the scholar would pick which door best described his item, and by walking through the archway, would find himself in the next chamber, during which time all relevant chambers would rearrange internally, lining up the next two chambers at the end of the scholar's new room. Following this recursive process, the scholar would slowly but surely make his way through the library until he reached a question that was irrelevant. When a scholar had found an irrelevant question that could not be answered by either doorway, that was how he knew he was in the chamber he needed to be in, and could search only a few hundred shelves instead of the tens of thousands he would have needed to search in a traditional library. | Each chamber had an entrance, and two exit doors.
