Story worlds define the objects, concepts, and actions that exist in a story, and story world models define the logic for when actions can happen, how actions change the current state of world, when endings happen, etc.

Package	Description
edu.uky.cs.nil.tt	Tandem Tales is a platform that enables short, paired storytelling exercises between two agents over a network.
edu.uky.cs.nil.tt.io	The IO (input/output) package defines the various message types that can be sent between a server and client and provide some utilities for serializing and deserializing objects as JSON.

Class	Description
Action	An action is a signed asset that causes a change in a story world's state.
Asset	An asset is any named object or concept in a story world.
AssetBuilder	A tool for defining the assets used in a story world.
Assignment	An assignment is a logical formula that assets that some variable in a story world has a value.
Constant	A constant is a logical value that always exists in all story worlds, such a the Boolean concepts of True and False, numbers, and so on.
Described	A described object is associated with a human-readable natural language description.
Describer	A tool for generating English descriptions of certain objects based on natural language templates.
Describer.Key	The names of elements which can be replaced in description templates
Describer.Rule	A describer rule has two parts: a context that defines when to apply it and a natural language template to use when this rule is applied.
Describer.Verb	A verb is an object used in the templates of a describer.
Effect	An effect is a logical formula that describes one way that an action modifies one state variable.
Encoded	An encoded object has a unique string of 1's and 0's that uniquely distinguishes it object from others of the same type in the same story world.
Encoding	An encoding is a method for translating data types to and from Java Strings so they can serialized, saved to file, and transmitted between the server and its agents.
Ending	An ending is a signed asset that represents one of several possible ways a story can end.
Entity	An entity is an asset that represents a character, object, place, or idea in a story world.
Expression	A logical expression is a logical formula that can be evaluated to return a value in a state.
Logical	A logical object is anything that is itself a predicate logic formula or contains a predicate logic formula.
LogicalWorld	A logical world model implements the internal logic of a story world using logical propositions and describes its elements using a rule-based describer.
Proposition	A proposition is a logical expression that can be either true or false.
Proposition.Operator	An operator defines the behavior of a proposition.
Signature	A signature is a logical object that identifies a parameterized asset in a story world.
SignedAsset	A signed asset is an asset which has a unique signature among all other assets of that type in a story world.
State	A state is an assignment of values to each variable in a story world.
Status	A status contains the full history of a session in a story world, a description of its current state, and a list of turns that can be taken next (if any).
Turn	A turn is one participant in a session communicating their intentions for an action to the other participant.
Turn.Type	The kind of turn being taken
Unique	A unique object has a sequential integer ID that specifically distinguishes it from other objects of the same type in the same story world.
Value	A value is a logical expression which evaluates to itself.
Variable	A variable is a signed asset that represents a feature of the story world state that can change.
World	A story world is a collection of assets needed for two partners in a session to tell a collaborative story.
WorldModel	A world model is an implementation of a story world that contains the necessary logic to simulate how turns change the story state.
