[self-interest] Better organisation of globals?

[David Ungar]

Korz is a new, symmetric multidimensional paradigm--there's a paper on it in Onward! 2014--that I'm very interested in these days. (My answer was tongue-in-cheek--sorry if I wasn't clear about that.) Bayesian was intended to mean using probabilities instead of 0-or-1.

The problem with using anything in Self to do this--although that's all we have--is that Self lacks native support for multidimensional, non-Aristotelian conceptual frameworks. So, if you want that, I guess you need to find an idiom.

Example, a small int is an integer, it is also (disjunction or conjunction?) a set of powers-of-two (so is sorta a collection), and is also performant. There are three dimensions with a sorta in one.
