| There is school of philosophical thought (Platonic theory of forms) that proposes a perfect mirror world in which exists an ideal form of everything we experience in our world. So a circle in our world reflects (imperfectly) the ideal 'circleness' that exists in the form world. This will be a familiar thought process to those who use object-oriented programming, especially pure object languages like Smalltalk. | There is school of philosophical thought (Plato's theory of forms) that proposes a perfect mirror world in which exists an ideal form of everything we experience in our world.

| From this philosophy I wanted to completely encapsulate the possible classifications of event which I might undertake in everyday life. More importantly, I wanted to be able to classify events so that I knew what resources to allocate to a particular type. Perhaps also to automate the checking around an event so that an algorithm might automatically know the data types and scheduling requirements. | From this philosophy I wanted to completely encapsulate the possible classifications of event which I might undertake in everyday life.
