(mostly because of the fact that I didn't understand some of the C idioms, but also because the architecture was difficult to comprehend for me in general). Ian's object model didn't actually reify message though, did it? I should go read it more. I wish that it was more accessible to me, and/or that I could somehow increase my ability to comprehend it. Any further recommendations for things to read along this lines? I'm QUITE interested (this was my favourite part of the FoNC project to a point). > A graph of TORT's object model is here: > http://kurtstephens.com/pub/tort/tort.svg .

At least, as far as my understanding and implementations have gone.
