       | One suggestion, your language can be more specific, I had a hard
       | time figuring out what was going on. You know this will be for
       | drone formations, so:
       | 
       | "Every simulation is modelled as a scenario. You can add multiple
       | nodes to your world in a scenario."
       | 
       | A scenario is a single formation? or Multiple formations (with
       | the transitions encapsulated)? Nodes are just drones?
       | 
       | I realize you might be adopting the language from some ROS
       | framework, but for you specific situation you can make it so much
       | easier to read!

       | Very interesting. I've been working on a small library called
       | SpinStep -- it's a Python-based quaternion traversal framework
       | that steps through trees based on orientation thresholds, rather
       | than positional hierarchy. I designed it with spatial decision-
       | making in mind, and while it's still early-stage, it might
       | complement Ketu's orientation handling or be interesting for
       | modeling formation logic.
       | 
       | Totally open-ended -- no expectations at all. Just thought I'd
       | share it in case it aligns with any future ideas you're
       | exploring.
