[FRIAM] What is an object?

[uǝlƃ ☣]

Sorry, my reference to the "why trap" refers to teleology and the (apparent) success of science after it began focusing on "what" not "why".  As a pragmatist, I ass/u/me/d you'd understand that.  Mea culpa.

It's *literally* irrelevant what OOP was designed to do.  What matters is what it does/is.

If you think me sometimes cagey, it's usually because I am trying to not to say more than I know, and when I am talking to computer folks about programming, I know so little that it probably sounds like I am talking with my hands over my mouth.   I do think it's important for "civilians" to understand programmers' world better than we do, and that requires developing some sort of mediating language that does justice to civilians and experts alike.
