Yes, but it is not wise to speak it out loud because it is only a
distraction at this point.

When groves are understood better, and there are more grove processors, and
there is a fully functional DSSSL engine, HyTime will come into meaningful
use.

It is not unusual for theory to get ahead of technology.  The theory of
holography was developed in the late 1940s, but useful holographs had to
await the development of lasers 20 years later.

But see, I myself am getting distracted from the main point.  The most
important task right now is building a complete DSSSL engine.
