+
+## Binding
+
+Aurora Runtime provides C++ APIs; however, it should be noted that two libraries are used to extend interfaces and enums <br>
+to help with porting and internal utility access. One, AuroraEnums, wraps basic enumerations and provides value vectors; <br>
+value strings; look up; iteration; and more. The other, AuroraInterfaces, provides *TWO* class types for each virtual interface. <br>
+Each interface can be backed by a; C++ class method overriding a superclass's `virtual ...(...) = 0;` method, or a `AuFunctional`<br>
+-based structure. <br>
+
 It should be noted that most language bindings and generator libraries (^swig, v8pp, nbind, luabind) work with shared pointers. <br>
+Other user code may wish to stuff pointers into a machineword-sized space, whether its a C library, a FFI, or a size constraint. <br>
+One handle or abstraction layer will be required to integrate the C++ API into the destination platform, and assuming we have a <br>
+C++ language frontend parsing our API, we can use `AuSPtr` for all caller-to-method constant reference scanerios. <br>
+Furthermore, `AuSPtrs` can be created, without a deletor, using `AuUnsafeRaiiToShared(unique/raw pointer)`. To solve the raw <br>
+pointer issue, `AuSPtrs` are created in the public headers with the help of exported/default visibility interface create and <br>
+destroy functions. These APIs provide raw pointers to public C++ interfaces, and as such, can be binded using virtually any <br>
+shim generator. Method and API mapping will likely involve manual work from the library developer to reimplement AU concepts <br>
+under their language runtime instead of using the C++ platform, or at least require manual effort to shim or map each runtime <br>
+prototype into something more sane across the language barrier. <br>
+
+Memory is generally viewed through a `std::span` like concept called MemoryViews. `MemoryViewRead` and `MemoryViewWrite` <br>
+provide windows into a defined address range. `MemoryViewStreamRead` and `MemoryViewStreamWrite` expand upon this concept by <br>
+accepting an additional offset (`AuUInt &: reference`) that is used by internal APIs to indicate how many bytes were written or <br>
+read from a given input region. Such requirement came about from so many APIs, networking, compression, encoding, doing the exact <br>
+same thing in different not-so-portable ways. Unifying memory access to 4 class types should aid with SWIG prototyping. 
+
+Unrelated note, structure interfacing with questionable C++ ABI reimplementations is somewhat sketchy in FFI projects (^ CppSharp)<br>
+can lead to some memory leaks. <br>
