Discrete time and space? Allow some overlap? Collisions using force fields

Reduce everything to points Reduce everything to AABB Model paths as R -> R? But then how to FRP? Hierarchy of scales? Collisions as discrete events is tough

Organizational scheme Use classes? collide(A,B)? return point? true/false? region included in both? AABB? Maximal AABB? inside(x,A) ? point query?

javascript AD. Forward mode prob. No overloading sucks.
