  Where's the code? Where's the screenshots?
Eidola is a young project. It's mostly theory and vaporware at this point. One of the biggest missing pieces is notation -- that's the piece that would give you code and screenshots. The focus now is on laying the right foundation, and notation's time has not yet come. Sorry. Be patient.

In an effort to give you something concrete to wrap your mind around, here are some examples, comparisons, scenarios, and illustrations which describe the ideas behind Eidola in familiar terms, and give a sense of how it might be used. Get your vivid imagination ready....

Disclaimer: There are a lot of specific hints here about how parts of Eidola which do not exist yet will look and behave. Please note that this is all just hypothetical; none of these are promises, and this is not a design document.
