These would increase the operational degrees of freedom to possibly 3 (as far as human transport transportation is concerned) and allow for modelling of structures in general to depart from the vertical high-rise model (built predominantly around the 1 DOF lift) to a more organic shape where necessary while maintaining functional access to lifts (and such actuation platforms) not limited to proximity to a vertical cable system.
