-The main reason that I use eve-style bodies is so that there will be
-correspondence between the AI's vision and the physical presence of
-its body. Each individual section is simulated by a separate rigid
-body that corresponds exactly with its visual representation and does
-not change. Sections are connected by invisible joints that are well
-supported in jMonkyeEngine. Bullet, the physics backend for
-jMonkeyEngine, can efficiently simulate hundreds of rigid bodies
-connected by joints. Sections do not have to stay as one piece
-forever; they can be dynamically replaced with multiple sections to
-simulate splitting in two. This could be used to simulate retractable
-claws or EVE's hands, which could coalece into one object in the
-movie.

 You will notice that the hand has no physical presence -- it's a
-hologram through witch everything passes.  Therefore, the first thing
+hologram through which everything passes.  Therefore, the first thing
 to do is to make it solid.  Blender has physics simulation on par with
 jMonkeyEngine (they both use bullet as their physics backend), but it
 can be difficult to translate between the two systems, so for now I
