 ===== Claim/Wish/When scheduling =====
+A lot of this is still unclear to me, so take all of this with a grain of salt.
 Core words are inserted into a queue. When statements serialize their environment (meaning there's no exfiltration of information).

 Say is a step above Wish/Claim(?). ''Say $::thisNode wishes the sky is blue'' vs ''Wish the sky is blue''. Say is also used to construct ''When''s: \\

 # environment is the serialized environment to run in''
 TODO: definitely more to talk about here

+==== Libraries ====
+Libraries are a new concept in order to facilitate code reuse consistently across threads. Create a library using something like ''[library create myNewLib {varFromCurrentEnv} { # my library code }]''. It'll return something like ''<library:/tmp/myNewLib_TaaRfi.tcl>''. Whenever that library handle is called, it'll be lazily loaded. Lazy loading works because when an unknown command (e.g. the library handle) is called, it will execute the ''unknown'' proc. The ''unknown'' proc will then source the library, and in the process create a namespace with the name of the library handle. With that namespace, it'll no longer call ''unknown'' (unless of course the last 6 characters change because the library was modified).
