Why do programs need "main loops" ??

Everything else that doesn't fall into one of the other PB categories.

Here is a nice doc about the application event loop of programs for the PalmOS (used on the older Palm devices):

http://www.accessdevnet.com/docs/palmos ... tLoop.html

It applies to the main concept of a Application Event Loop.
(The Application Event Loop section is right on top of the doc and small...)

Cause linear instructions have no state as with any type of instruction.

You make a rat wheel flat the rat will just walk of the end and go do something else.

Read about compiler design and computer engineering to delve deeper..

Human written computer instruction already is incomprehensible by even the smartest human mind. I have a original method of calculating indevidual memory size in computer terms that has never been used anywhere before, and actually has groundbreaking implementations in productivity and learning.
so many ideas so little time..
