[droqen]

"in programming, state can be explicit or implicit
 that's a too-simple way of putting it but
 it will work for the purposes of our game.

 when state changes, does the code actually
 keep track of the new state, storing it some-
 where? or does it merely announce change
 and immediately forget?

 as a person, you contain directions. thoughts.
 states.

 do you store your states
 implicitly or explicitly?"

"when processes change, ask yourself
 this one question:

 am i storing this state change internally
 or announcing it and then forgetting?"
