Detailed Description

An event is a way to stimulate agents from a world.

Events may stimulate certain kinds of sensors. They may have a placement and a range and the intensity of the stimulation may be a function of distance from source. Events may exists that have no placement.

Events may stay alive a long time and generate activity from time to time or they may be single-shoots.

A world has EventLine's, each with an ID. An EventSource posts activity on the EventLine's that are then checked by the Sensor's. Each EventSource may post to one or more EventLine's.
