Why not call a Tweak object an "Idea"? This would be even more Greek, and more appropriate.
Cheers,

Given that objects in Tweak will be neither Morphs nor traditional
objects,
I wonder if Andreas would consider calling a Tweak object a "Pragma" (a thing, for the Greekless); that way the computer scientists, educators,
and
epistemologists among us could develop a theory of "Pragmatic
Programming,"
while avoiding confusion with the various kinds of object-orientedness
found
in Smalltalk and other languages.
I have not fully thought this out yet, but the idea struck me as fertile enough to risk embarrassing myself by making it public.
Best,
John
