Prime computer language.

Error categories:

• Meta errors "problems from above" (memory unavailable, CPU says error (system will reb00t), ),
• System errors or "problems from below" (integer overflow). See below.
• Object errors. See below.
• User errors (input errors: "input out-of-range")

System errors:

• Object-Storage discrepancy (something changed)
• Object fails tests (doctests)
• Object execution error: corrupted object, run tests on all in-memory objects?
• Corrupted environment, reboot?

Because objects are limited in scope, there are only a few object error conditions to note:

• Object initialization failure ("disk busy")
• Pull data << failure ("source had no data", "receiver inadequate")
• Push data >> failure ("couldn't write to device", "bad input type")
• Object not responding (net lag?)
