I've been thinking about dataflow-paradigm languages. Events would make for a handy way to deal with edges.

//edges isn't well-thought-out. I want to be able to hold it as a string but treat it as a pointer. :/ | |
// I could also make edges contain both a name *and* an EE-/type/ object, for more flex. Might be The Way. | |
function BlackBox(fxn, edges) { | |
blackbox = new EE; | |
blackbox.input = [none, none]; | |
blackbox.edges = edges; | |
blackbox.on('input' function(index,val) { | |

console.log("WARNING: Something somewhere thinks there are more inputs than there should be."); | |
