Mathematically, a Layout is a fucntion mapping from integer to integer (1d logical index to 1d logical index). A Layout is a tuple of Shape and Stride. The Shape is in responsible for "unflatting" the 1d logical index into a n-d logical coordinate (div and mod). And the Stride is in responsible for inner product with n-d logical coordinate to get back to the 1d logical index.

Since the a Layout is a fucntion mapping from integer to integer, they can easily compose. For example, Layout A and B. A(B(i)), B(i) always returns an integer, so the function A can take it as input, aka, function compose.

For mod and div with Layouts, I don't think they are significant to the user.
