-The codebase is made in levels.
-Ideally each level defines a complete API to the underworkings.
-Higher levels include greater degrees of meaning and are
-more expressive and powerful.
-The purpose of levels is to prevent complexity recursion
-until the components are smart enough to adapt, and make
-handling bugs much less explosive.
-
-Levels have a 'ref' class they use to refer to concepts.
-Each higher level adds more functionality to this class.
-The desired norm of coding a level is to use only the
-functionality of the level prior, except to use that
-level's ref class, rather than the lower one. Ref classes
-are just wrappers for a pointer, so this should cause no
-issues.
-This norm was established after levels 0 and 1 were coded,
-so they do not meet it yet.
-
-# LEVEL 0
-Level 0 defines an interconnected network of concept references in memory.
-Each concept has a unique address, and a list of concept pairs it links to.
-The first of the pair represents the type of the link, and the second the target.
-Concepts may not be deallocated unless nothing links to them.
-A special kind of concept is the value, which holds arbitrary data alongside itself.
-
-# LEVEL 1
-Level 1 provides for every concept having a name using the "name" link.
-There is additionally syntax sugar for instantiating and using named or hyphen-separated
-references. Level-1 names are for development ease, and are considered unique.
-When multiple references are made with the same name, they always refer to the same concept.
-Level-1 introduce the concept of groups, using the "is" link, and uses it to categorize
-concepts that have an autogenerated name in the "anonymous" group.
-
-# LEVEL 2
-Whatever gets implemented next. Maybe expression operators, maybe structure promises,
-maybe infrastructure for moving implementation onto ref code objects.

-# FUTURE
-## Relevence pattern matching
- This is important and core.
- This appears similar to graph structure matching, except that code creatively relevent to
- the parts of the structure must be continually run so as to generate new information,
- new structural parts.
- At its simplest, this solves (A is not a dog), (A is a cat), (cats are never dogs),
- with logical habits relevent to 'not', 'never', 'is', using one single matching interface,
- but with more relevence could do more.
