These are abstractions for a reactive application architecture using
[Carboxyl](https://github.com/aepsil0n/carboxyl). See my scribbled notes further
down. Will add better documentation (read: full introduction) soon.


## Architecture

- Human-Computer Interaction as a metaphor
- Hexagonal architecture


FRP operates at the core/driver boundary

Surrounded by drivers for

- window
- user inputs (keyboard, mouse…)
- graphics
- network
- sound
- etc.


Modelling inputs

- streams only when you want to take an action based on an event
- signals when the input represents the state of another system


## Internal factoring

Application logic is a simple reactive function from inputs to outputs

Application has the same shape as its parts

Component trait


## Unsolved problems

- How to deal with integrations/ticks?
  - first of all, avoid them as they are approximations which compose badly
