now

the context: the particle the robot stands on this second — shown always, top-left. now looks like an indicator and is actually the hinge of the whole robot. its functions, and this list will only grow:

the default subject — a com command with no target acts on now

the model's window — when soma is asked, the context packed into the model is the neighborhood of now

the anchor of casts — new links attach from now unless said otherwise; move, and your next thought lands elsewhere

the cursor of navigation — where brain flies and memory scrolls, now is the position

the center of time — the screen pivots on the present: log behind it, plan ahead

the address of attention — what the robot reports as its focus; two robots on one particle are in the same place, which is what presence means in a graph

the seed of sense — messages attach to the particle they were spoken on

part of the anatomy (time layer — the present between log and plan). moving now is the robot's basic act of thought: attention is a position, and the position is real
