getstate

Get state of simple object returns any data that is held by the object. As most objects are composed of subobjects, this could be a whole tree of sets. At the final nodes, the object that only has functions, reveals a datum: the color of which the object is associated.

The simplest object is composed of functions for all of its four methods. A function has no color.

Untyped, binary data is the two extremes of color: white and black. But all data should have a type (categorized) and this means a color. Numbers and text by themselves are not a sufficient categorization for identification and color. They are analogous to space and time in physics: to general to be categorized. So beyond the standard types, a datum gets classified further with origin data, date of creation, giving it a concrete location in space and time. This is then ready for categorization.
