I have to say that I'm truly impressed with the code and grateful for it, and I find it very inspiring. However, if it comes to the names that you chose for various routines, I find them quite puzzling. I mean signal-map, signal-filter and signal-fold. I understand that while map works on lists and has its stream counterpart defined in SICP, your idea was that the "collection" that signal-map iterates over is a temporal sequence of changes, or consecutive states that a program takes during its execution, which are represented by signals. I wanted to say that this name is a little bit confusing and propose a better one, but after giving it a thought I concluded that the names are really excellent and the concept is brilliant, so thanks again :) M.
