 ===== Filtering =====
-//Filtering// is an essential part of the proper ECS implementation. It lets you select specific Subjects and Subjectives to work apon. Using the word "select" in this context is not by chance as the term could be very familiar to a database programmer. Technically it's quite the same. You define a "WHERE" clause with a set of conditions to meet. These can be both inclusive (positive) and exclusive (negative).

 Apparatus uses all sorts of different optimization schemes and caches to make the filtering process as fast as possible. You shouldn't worry too much about that.

 ===== Iterating =====
-Once you have your Subjects spawned and set. Belts or Chunks enchained you're ready to iterate on them to deliver the necessary logic of the game or application. This is done through a very common concept of //Iterators// and //Cursors//.

-Both Belt and Chunk have their own types of Iterators, but you would rarely use them directly. Instead you'll almost always use the Chain Cursors. They are essentially Iterators with a naming chosen to eliminate some possible ambiguity. For now you should only use the default (implicit) Cursor as the threading is still a planned feature and you would rarely need to iterate a Belt (or a Chunk) with multiple different Cursors.
