Galaxies

The Stellogen language adds to stellar resolution an entity named galaxy.

A galaxy is either a constellation or a structure with named fields containing other galaxies.

More generally, Stellogen actually manipulates galaxies rather than constellations (that are special cases of galaxy).

In Stellogen, "everything is galaxy" in the same way that everything is object is programming languages like Smalltalk or Ruby.

Galaxies are defined with blocks galaxy ... end containing a series of labels label: followed by the associated galaxy:

g = galaxy
  test1: +f(a) ok.
  test2: +f(b) ok.
end

Fields of a galaxy are then accessed with ->:

show g->test1.
show g->test2.

This resembles the concept of a record in programming, except that when galaxies are used, they are represented by their underlying constellation (by forgetting the labels).
