so it strikes me that in my Bob-Albrecht's-Hurkle implementation so far https://screwlisp.small-web.org/lispgames/itching-for-hurkles/
the way I did "what-direction-is-the-hurkle-in?" is a reasonable model for Breitenbergian sensors @ksaj .

Surprise! #London's tax on #polluting #vehicles made everyone much healthier
Two of the most dangerous aspects of vehicle #emissions – nitrogen oxides, which are responsible for #smog formation, and PM2.5, which are tiny particles that irritate the lungs – have dropped by almost a third compared to if #ULEZ hadn’t been implemented, in only the few years that the policy has been in place.
99% of air quality monitors around London have showed a reduction in #pollution!
