It was a long day of hard work today. I am greatly simplifying the bootstrapping procedure in several ways. One such way is that I am able to use more production code and less bootstrapping-specific code. But I need a few more days to finish the transformation. Once I am done, it should be much easier to understand the bootstrapping procedure, and especially much easier for me to describe and document.

I am establishing widely used conventions such as "[nearly] all objects in an environment E have the same purity" and "A function with purity P takes arguments of purity P+1".

These conventions will make a lot of hard thinking unnecessary for each file being loaded during bootstrapping .

It is probably boring to y'all that I keep harping on bootstrapping, and if I had been smarter than I am, I might have gotten it right earlier. But I am what y'all have so get over it. :)

My (admittedly small) family just announced that dinner is served. I'll be back tomorrow morning as usual.
