But, rather than have to explicitly characterize the entire hyperspace

object to the operator (or have the object submit itself), and out pops the new object without the result having to match any pre- determined _type_.

This implies that at each attempted application of an operator, the
object would have to be explored and if it matched a (possibly dynamic) template, then the operation goes through. If not, the operation bails,
possibly leading to some other branch of logic.

Induction would be nice too, so that new operators could be added.
