// this system provides several piece of functionality to ai or other systems which wish to do
// traces and other trace-like queries. 

// a. By maintaining a set of incrementally updated trace results, it makes it simple to have ai
// code use hyteresis on traces as an optimization method.

// b. By updating the cache entries outside of the entity think functions, the update is done in a
// fully multi-threaded fashion
