 # Fields basics

+`Field`s are more or less arrays of _three dimensional_ `data` located on a `grid`, whose entries
 correspond to the average value of some quantity over some finite-sized volume.

 For `Field`s on three-dimensional grids, `set!` functions must have arguments `x, y, z` for

+!!! note
+    Despite we `set` a `Field` with reduced arguments in the `Flat` directions, a `Field` remains 
+    intrinsically a three-dimensional object as it maps to a three-dimensional data structure. 
+    For this reason a `Field` must be always indexed by providing all three indices `i, j, k`.

 ### A bit more about setting with functions
 
 Let's return to the three-dimensional `fun_stuff` case to investigate in more detail how `set!` works with functions.
