emacs seeps into every nook and cranny, first explicitly changing named
bits locally, then meta-bits locally, then any bits outside of itself
anywhere, then any bits including itself, then finally the perception of
all those bits by its users, whether or not any external change is
actually involved.

people who don't understand this initially do so eventually, although
they may not understand their understanding.

every motion achieves change (surprisingly :-).
