+#Abstract class for a behavior.  On every time step, the behavior is passed the
+#inputs from all sensors it is bound to as well as any recursive inputs that it
+#spawned during the last time step.  Inheriting classes MUST define
+#processResponse.  processResponse should return a list of dictionaries which
+#define the properties of the light response.  They must give a location and
+#color.  They may define a function pointer which defines a custom mapping.
+#[More on this later.  Bug Russell if you want to do it].
+#recursiveResponse to queue a input on the next iteration with a dictionary
+#argument.  This will be passed in via recursive inputs.
