Reference/Glossary/Warm atom

Warm atom

A warm atom is an atom with an ordinary aura. The type of a warm atom is, conceptually, the set of all possible values for that aura. For example, the cord 'foo' nests under the type of the cord 'bar' - they both have @t auras. This is in contrast to a cold atom, where its type is an exact value.
