I went through Dan's server load example, and when I was done..., when I deleted the clock, the script stopped ticking

After playing some more, I can see that obviously, if the step mechanism is driving the action, then the clock has to be in the world. But the command line can be closed without stopping the chart updating.

But this brings up another interesting implication of relying on Morphs being in the world… the ElProfesor tutorial recommends accessing morphs via this.get() or $morph(). However, this creates duplication everywhere assuming that the Morph will be forever reachable that way. If the Morph needs to be removed from the world, that will all break. Would it be better to abstract at least the top-level application object as a property accessed via $world.getWhatever()
