Hi Sean,

No, I’ve not studied Self Morphic but I hope that I understand well the idea and a part of its design.
I think it is still  the idea of Morphic even in Pharo but as you say, pollute with special cases.
The Bloc core is a reimplementation of this Morphic idea. I hope you will
appreciate its uniformity. (yes, you can open a World in a World :)  )

Cheers
Alain
