I do not give a single grain of shit about what npm packages (or whatever) it takes to make [attached] happen.
But I am *dying* to know more about what it means when objects become dynamic.
Like, if everything in my house were suddenly computationally dynamic… what's the first thing I'd want to go play with? My guitar? My cutlery? My shoulders?
I have no idea, and I want to find out.

1. We do not think of the object as an "interface" to a program running on a "computer”. We think of the object itself as running the program, noticing and communicating with the objects around it. Of course there must be electrical hardware to make this work. An analogy might be reading a book at night with a lamp. We do not think of the book as an "interface" to words coming from the lamp. (Although the photons might think of it this way.) We think of the lamp as creating an environment in which words can come from the book. Likewise, Realtalk hardware creates an environment in which physical objects exhibit dynamic behavior.
