[PD] who moved the slider?

[David McCallum]

         Maybe this isn't what you want, but couldn't you just put a spigot 
on the outlet of the slider. Whenever the algorithm moves the slider it 
also closes the spigot, and then opens it when the algorithm's finished 
moving it.

         If you're worried about the send of the slider you could use an 
intermediary stage and send to a spigot, and then put that data to another 
send value and have the spigot work the same way as before...

         But I guess you wouldn't be able to override the algorithm manually...
