+// is it 'faster' to make functions that get he ordered list of arguments,
+// or change the structure of habits to be simple and obvious.
+
+// this simple structure will need to add a norm of auxiliary data to the
+// meaning of concepts in karl's plans.  which implies more complexity in learning
+// to use them. [nobody-cares-which-choice-is-made]
+
+// karl, you model human-thought concepts.  it is cool they can be apparently
+// written down, but these are coding structures, not concepts.  concepts
+// will refer to them.  concepts are best run by behaviors, not data.
+// karl deserves some support around his plan of virtual functions.  this will
+// structure the AI to look more like his plan from 2002/2003.
+
+// TEACHING HOW TO THINK?  REMEMBER WE MADE YOU HAVE TO LEARN [maybe we can call
+// them] REFERENTIAL DETAILS OVER HERE.  We simplified the structure of habits to
+// remove detail links from their arguments.  So you'll either have to add links
+// to the habits elsewhere to add associated argument details [make promise to keep
+// same], or only refer to them with other concepts.  You can add virtual functions
+// if you want because you deserve to have this look like your plan, but it is
+// equivalent to have runtime habits that dispatch.
+
+// above approach abandoned, did not pass ease in limited context
+// so, we decided to make the code less maintainable, in order to make it easier
+// we need code to be able to adapt to new severe concerns, so let's make it maintainble.
+// we are picking to make functions, not to restructure.  because we are able to decide on it strongly enough to do it.
+
+// please do not restructure internals, it slows down a lot.
+// please remove the use of inherent strings.  it requires internal restructuring.
