NEW: This week on 'Whatever This Is' we explain why Danielle Smith’s pipeline hype hides something worse. Bill 11. A plan that lets doctors work public and private at the same time. Rich Albertans get a private pipeline of care. The rest of us wait longer and pay more.

Realizing now that C++ (single) inheritance can be tweaked so that this paradigm forms a category (category theory).
I have no idea what the application would be, but it might explain why the paradigm is highly composable.

I've refined my method equip paradigm.
The first image (left) is the original paradigm, the second image (right) is the refinement. In particular it is now a paradigm for constructing compile time containers in my library for which there are three:

A lawyer representing First Nations in a 2019 lawsuit against the federal government says his clients may take legal action to force Ottawa to reintroduce legislation to give them clean drinking water.
Further court action by First Nations could be coming as they grow impatient with the federal government over safe water legislation. Indigenous Services Canada has promised to reintroduce it in the fall session which ends in less than two weeks.

I haven't yet overhauled my library with this new constructive paradigm.
I have one design consideration left: My facades currently take a pointer to their respective models. My new design takes a pointer to the model's array. It means all facades now have the same C++ type. What are the tradeoffs?

Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.
