And we can leave it as it is and it'll work just fine but in this next video, I'd like to explore a couple of organizational options that can help us work through complex definitions like this. You've probably noticed as we've gone through the different stages of building up our definition, we're often jumping around from one set of components to another, going from different parts of the definition, you know, having to do a lot of sliding back and forth.
