TOP.  Commentary Note 1

o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o

This will be a first pass at trying to comment the Theme One program
in this current list format.  I will use the comments that I started
to write up at Jack Park's "Nexist" web portal -- and just hope that
he gets it running again real soon -- in the mean time it might take
me several tries to settle on a workable plan of organization.

Just so I don't lose track of them, and in case we want to try and
reconstruct a similar staging ground at some point in the future,
I will preserve the original "stage directions" in this thread,
bracketing them off with vertical bars, like so:

| About This Page:  Things to See and Places to Go.
|
| The paragraphs below are indexed with the individual reference numbers
| that you see in the lower left corners of the corresponding text boxes.
| Clicking on any one of these paragraph numbers will transport you to a
| page that contains additional information about that particular segment
| of the source code.  For example, if a paragraph amounts to the code of
| a program function, its extended gloss page will contain "Related Page"
| links to the functions that it calls, as a part of its definition, and
| also to the functions that call on it, as a part of theirs.  All told,
| these relationships of functional dependency go a long way to define
| the operational meaning of the program as a whole.
