+// in process expansion / simple thought, we also have the issue of recursion.
+// if we trust a task to complete, and it ends up triggering itself in a subcontext,
+// we could wait forever.
+//
+// the solution to many of these things is to recognize repetition in systems.
+// we also become skeptical as things continue constantly.  we expect to develop
+// some level of understanding that they will shrink, or we stop them and try
+// something else.
+
+// A solution to recursion appears to involve emotional expression.
+// Too much recursion maps acceptably to frustration of the process doing the repetitive task.
+// The building unmet need for effectiveness should influence other decision-making processes
+// if nothing else is larger.  Notably if the caller needs timeliness, they won't get this
+// if the callee(s) do not have effectiveness.
+// 	propose: raise frustration[effectiveness] when calling self or repeating same behavior
+// 	propose: raise frustration[timeliness] if subprocess takes long (say every 400ms)
+// 	ideally raising an emotional expression should be associated with what caused it
+// 	and how the the universe might change to fix it.
