It's obvious none today Morphic app could run in SimpleMorphic, right ?
So, what about if we design a Traslator package which could take a today
Morphic app and convert it to SimpleMorphic ?

Juan could advice to a Translator "Task Force".
As I have a nice internal LAN with all kind of computers , volunteer for
doing test and reports.
When learn how to do , also could help with code.
