In other words, the user should get a set of functions and behaviors that are identical regardless of how the model is implemented. The user doesn"t care about the process; he just cares about the results: vector: implemented with moon monkeys. Moon monkeys keep all our data in the moon and simply pass back the results of our functions as we need them.
