The SBBS Emacs client no longer works for me; I believe Tor posting has been blocked for some reason, and it has other flaws. I don't have much yet to show since my last message, but posting about it should be welcome, considering the recent discussions on this forum:

This does not matter as it is too explicit for your liking, and if I understand correctly you would like CHANGE to be like this RETAIN except operating transparently on visible mutations in its scope rather than with the explicit addition of a journaling mutator.
That seems correct, yes.
Was this more along the lines of what you were thinking?
I've stopped thinking about it like this lately, as Common Lisp is unsuited to it. It doesn't matter how it works, only that it works transparently and perfectly. A general approach likely requires a global event log.
I think I now understand a bit better your claims to the necessity of a shell of a system.
Yes; the program should be cracked open, so that other programs may easily provide such things.
I was thinking this as well actually. I'm glad I seem to be understanding Elision even if I lack the linguistic depth to fully understand how best to implement it.
I've recently entirely rewritten this article, by the by:

English being a creole of Old English and a koine of creoles, and being the global lingua franca encouraging further creolization leads me to believe it can not be trusted.
One nice quality of this is, from what I know, that English provides extreme word choice due to it, which can make learning another language feel so restrictive.
At the minimum I must learn English grammar as my country seems to think it fit to deny human beings the birth right of language similar to that story of the Indian king who trapped infants in a cage to prevent exposure to language under the deluded notion that such an act would lead to the development of the gods' language rather than the apes he would come to find.
I'm curious as to which country that is, but don't feel inclined to tell me. I've been robbed of time by my schooling, but one thing I did learn from it's that I must take mine education under my power in order to learn, and I've been learning continuously since then. I've had few teachers who were better than a book.
Don't feel overly obligated to reply.
As can be told by the delay, I didn't.
Progress has assured me that I am a fool.
I don't feel I've made much progress yet, but several months still remain in this year. I've recently changed how I schedule in an attempt to better use my time. I expect to make some decent progress by it.
