Or, craft +a habit that produces a descriptive structure of the last link made, +outputs a log whenever you do something, redoes everything you do +but with all arguments wrapped in a structure, or does the same thing +as you but with a different set of inner habits. + +Level 0 should be low level enough to provide for arbitrary flexibility. +There shouldn't be decision-making challenges with regard to exposing +an interface at level 0. Rather, decisions should be makeable by its +user. + +The topmost C++ level should be expressive enough to easily code all of +level 0 into habits that interconnect, and produce one to select some +of them and run them together. + +The levels together should provide a library that can be used exclusively +to work on the system, without resorting to external libraries. |
