+// define promises around structure, in terms of pattern matching
+// if node A is a link-expression, it should match the structure in link-expression.
+// so, link-expression is a structure-promise, maybe
+// or we could state that link-expression graph-structured <graph-structure>
+// doesn't really matter.
+// link-expression is a group, all members of which have a given graph structure
+// intend for all link-expressions to have same structure
+// group-member-structure
+// i'd like to have a bunch of promises or expectations around attributes of the group members
+// these are promises, not expectations. when broken something is up.
+// group-member-promise
+//
+// groups: concepts targeted by link-type 'is'
+// groups can-link-by group-member-promise any number of times
+//
+// a group-member-promise can state that the member matches a structure pattern
+// promise-kind topic-matches-structure
+// [topic-variable TOPIC]
+// structure <- propose a structure with some items being variables.
+// variables are what is matched against.
+//
+// what about things that can be linked as many times as we want?
+// what about separate restraints on the structure of the variables?
+// what about alternatives?
+//
+// it could also make more sense to discuss link attributes of the topic
+// has-link, link-type-promise, link-target-promise
+// [!!!!!! ARGH!]
+// - X is linked way1
+// - X may be linked by way2
+// - X is not linked way3
+// - X is linked by either way1, or way2, but not both
+//
+// - relevent topic data:
+// [always, sometimes, never] // handles optionals and exclusions
+// [is-exactly, is-a] // possibly handles alternatives vs is-a
+// or: AND, OR, and NOT are very normal ways of doing this.
+//
+// what about multipleness?
+// say there can be as many of a link-type as we want
+// linked-by [#-times, any-times]
+// link-type
+//
+// topic link-type link-target
+// we will define some special hardcoded link-types to handle further meaning we happen to need.
+// [always, sometimes, never] can somehow be applied to substatement?
+// topic color mauve
+// topic is-a color <- is-a is special, checks parents
+//
+// or(topic color mauve, topic color chartreuse) ? how?
+// topic color (mauve or chartreuse)
+// topic one-of list(topic color mauve, topic color chartreuse)
+// topic nothing-but-and-groups
+// these are roughly expressions
+// seems like it would kind of work
+//
+// let's define general structure norms.
+// it seems it would be nice if a structure were in charge of particular link-types that
+// are used with its members only in the ways it dictates
+// so no apple->green->link-type, just confuses everyone
+//
+// we'll also want a way to instantiate structures quick -> means variables provided
+// on outer unknown topic things.
+//
+//
+// here we move around graph reviewal.
+// for pattern-matching later, we care about the structure of the whole universe, not just
+// the topic. we may want to make sure that at least 3 people know the topic, which could
+// be expressed by saying linked-by 3-times a-person,know,topic.
+// without pattern searching, this would require reviewing entire database each request.
+// let's stay topic focused and let a habit expand that to be topic focused if needed
+// hum then we would need to say that all the 3 people were different
+// which could be done by linking the group of them to a parts-all-different tag
+// which would mean referencing the whole result with a variable.
+// i want to exlore this, but i suppose it is for later.
+// variable rereference
+// complex promises need to rereference their parts
+// the most basic part is saying a topic has a prticular target to a prticular linktype
+// this type or target could also use a variable, and the variable used as a further topic
+// we will want some special things, since we don't expand relevent habits yet.
+//
+// then we care often about link-types
+// often we have some set link-types
+// propose alternative link-types are grouped under a link group
+// so we could say precisely-is vs is-in-group
+//
+// - X may only be linked these ways? <- don't like this, auxiliary data is always helpful
+//
+// this seems way more general
