Before jumping in to code, we should know the big picture of what we are going to do;

application logic is divided into 2 separate layers:

domain
- is pure and has no side effects at all
- ensures aggregate invariants and implements all business rules and logic
- does not change frequently in well established businesses
- models an aggregate root in DDD
- aggregate roots just hold enough data to decide based on business rules and maintain invariants; they don't care about any other data
service
- may involve side effects
- is very minimal and mostly gluing
- must be idempotent
- models application services and command handlers in DDD

each aggregate has a unique address
all the possible aggregates together, form our aggregate space which is an infinite space (mathematically speaking)
there is nothing as a non existing aggregate, aggregates that are not created yet do exist in their initial state.

Currently these kinds of state machines are implemented in edomata:

Edomaton which is a portmanteau for event driven automaton, and models applications that are event sourced.
Stomaton, which is also a portmanteau (surprisingly) for state driven automaton, and models applications that are simple state machines (without event sourcing); and is especially useful in CQRS style command handling.

That's all we need to know for now; talk is enough, let's jump into code!
