Use classes instead of adding functions to an Area instance. Whether the functions have to be added to the instance can be discussed. A simple lookup table might be enough.

class A:
	trig = {}
	trac = []

	def __init__(self):
		self.trig = {}
		for trig in A.trig:
			self.trig[trig] = A.trig[trig].__get__(self, A)

	@staticmethod
	def register(func):
		A.trig[func.__name__] = func
		return func

	@staticmethod
	def note(func):
		A.trac.append(func.__name__)
		return func


class B(A):
	def __init__(self):
		super().__init__()
	
	@A.register
	def method1(self):
		pass

	@A.note
	def method2(self):
		pass

At the moment, the trigger name is added to the parameters. Send the trigger name instead as the first part of a multipart message.

If you define an alteration function to listen to messages from an area, the message is not passed on to the function. You can access the message through the area.context variable, but not as a function parameter.

The basic functionality of an area should look like this: If there was a change to any context values, call functions to calculate a new output. Context changes can be performed by other areas or from within the area. Both should result in a similar behavior.

Functions should be able to subscribe to changes in specific context values. These functions get called after every change to a subscribed value.

The basic functionality should closely resemble the behavior of a neural network (e.g. input -> output).

There should be a framework to easily test a single area or multiple areas locally. It should be possible to manipulate the input of tested areas.

Port the code to make use of Python 3's pathlib throughout the project. This includes files like:

• setup.py
• __main__.py

Provide another option to coordinate Pabiana areas beside using a central clock process. It should be a flexible, stable, decentralized system.

Area1 is subscribed to Area2 without a slot. If Area1 then receives a message from Area2 with a slot a TypeError will be thrown.

File "/pabiana/parsers.py", line 21, in imprint_full
  area.context[source][slot].appendleft(message)
TypeError: sequence index must be integer, not 'str'
