Interpolation is something I talked about with Cyrille at the
convention and definitely something, I'd like to somehow integrate
into Memento.  However I haven't yet thought about a way that is
"stupid" enough for general use here. How are you (intending to) doing
it?

I had this crazy idea when talking with Miller about this, that it
could be nice to extend the basic data type objects like "float" with
a OSC-tag. Instead of [float 0] ony would write [float 0 /freq], [f 0
$1/freq] or even [f 0 $0/freq] to make that float value state-saveable
and accessible through some OSC inlet or sender.  Then the currently
nessecary [commun] objects could go away, and [originator] and
[caretaker] could become an ext-/internal.
