Paul,

Thanks for these comments about determinism and distribution. I think
your analysis is right on, and we will keep it in mind as our
distribution story matures.

Just in case it isn't obvious to everyone on the alias, I would like to
point out that being able to represent a behavior tmeough time and
theough events greatly reduces the need for instant-by-instant
synchronization that is needed when animation and reactivity are
controlled by opaque, unpredictable imperative code, which makes
analysis of future behavior intractable.
