My greatest gratitude goes to the entire Fresco Lab, may they recover from my endless stream of questions. To Marion, for all the opportunities and the huge amounts of help given on this project. And for making sure that I understood that two hundred screens sometimes just aren't enough. To Wu, who made me realize that late nights are completely normal. To Olga, Steve, Lydia, and Neelesh for their help and companionship. To Eli, Connie, Omar, Lara, and Ian, who gave their entire selves to the project. And lastly to Dr. Fresco, whose constant watch made sure I learned how to write and who gave me all the resources, help, and attention that I needed for this thesis.
To everyone else who has helped me see that I have chosen the right path and has kept me sane while I proceed down it.
