    initial v1  
    1 There should be at least a possibility for AIs not using ECs to avoid the costly update. An AI can route events directly to the relevant function/object by implementing an event dispatcher. If all AIs would use an event driven programming model ECs are not required at all and consequently API + AIs would be faster.

    3 JavaScript is actually designed to support event driven applications. Browsers provide an API to register an event handler (callback), so that mouse clicks or moves are handled by the callback only. The current programming model used in the O A.D. AI API is comparable to browsers collecting all events in a list and let e.g. a menu search within this list whether the user clicked an entry or not. If the user hasn't clicked that's a very costly NOP.
