+## Components
+
+This project makes heavy use of composition via components.
+They are implemented with the following rules:
+
+- Components can have **read-only** references to other components.
+- Components must not **write** data to another component.
+- Components that produce some output must use signals to communicate messages to other components.
+
+In other words, it's allowed for components to have dependencies, but a component can not know where its output is going to be used in the future.
+Therefore, outputs must use a signal to communicate the output to an unknown number of receivers.
