Hi Joel,
you quoted me:
The line in which 'b was created wasn't changed. Most dramatically, it
continues to be the exact same line you commented on as
the creation of B
is "dynamic" as opposed to A, where the creation is "static"
...
Let me see an explanation that maintains that
Hello Joel,
Hope you're over your flu by now. I am truly amazed that anyone can write
such a coherent and ground-breaking essay under such conditions!
I've read your essay, and think the model will be very useful. Overall I
believe it is accurate, and it is also reasonably easy to understand.
Hi, trying to answer your question.
(I warned you, no KISS! Let's try your example code with a slight
modification - hoping it would be OK with you to do so)

words: [ print add write open ]

Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED],
The translation of the REBOL expression:
[10 "1234" 11]
could be described by the picture (not REBOL notation!):
{{block! 1 *}}

V
10 * 12

whoops, surely you mean 11 ?

Any thought on the matter of Object!s potentially being self modifying???
This happens all the time. I don't think it's controversial, is it?
One nice thing that objects do is allow you to use a lot of persistent local
variables.
Here's an implementation I did of an algorithm from

Very cool! I'm going to spend some quality time reviewing your response and
get back to you on that on Monday.
I'm looking forward to your thoughts.
For now, have a happy, restful and peaceful holiday. And everyone else as

The same to you!

What code analysis tools are available for Rebol ?
As an example: Given several pages of code wherein
a series has been 'addressed' with many different
pointers (or should I say new series have been defined
from an original series) via 'traversing' functions:
series1: [ "item1" "item2"
Wow! I'm amazed that anyone would have the time and patience to wade
through the whole thing (not to mention coming up with such useful
feedback) so quickly!
Let me make a couple of "blanket" observations before addressing the
individual points you raised.

Hello Joel (part 2),
Okay, now for a lot of picky little comments.
That's OK... I have good tweezers, too! ;-)
