Quotations
148 ;;Quote: a system is causally connected to its domain if changing one also changes the other; e.g., robot arm and position data structure
148 ;;Quote: a reflective system is causally connected to itself by a self-representation; can modify itself
149 ;;Quote: almost all reflective systems use a meta-circular interpreter that is defined by the language itself; e.g., LISP's eval
149 ;;Quote: for a language to use a meta-circular interpreter, programs are data-structures of the language
