    const SEA = require('./sea')
    const Gun = SEA.Gun;
    // After we have a GUN extension to make user registration/login easy, we then need to handle everything else.

    // We do this with a GUN adapter, we first listen to when a gun instance is created (and when its options change)
    Gun.on('opt', function(at){
      if(!at.sea){ // only add SEA once per instance, on the "at" context.
        at.sea = {own: {}};
        at.on('in', security, at); // now listen to all input data, acting as a firewall.
        at.on('out', signature, at); // and output listeners, to encrypt outgoing data.
        at.on('node', each, at);
      }
      this.to.next(at); // make sure to call the "next" middleware adapter.
    });

    // Alright, this next adapter gets run at the per node level in the graph database.
    // This will let us verify that every property on a node has a value signed by a public key we trust.
    // If the signature does not match, the data is just `undefined` so it doesn't get passed on.
    // If it does match, then we transform the in-memory "view" of the data into its plain value (without the signature).
    // Now NOTE! Some data is "system" data, not user data. Example: List of public keys, aliases, etc.
    // This data is self-enforced (the value can only match its ID), but that is handled in the `security` function.
    // From the self-enforced data, we can see all the edges in the graph that belong to a public key.
    // Example: ~ASDF is the ID of a node with ASDF as its public key, signed alias and salt, and
    // its encrypted private key, but it might also have other signed values on it like `profile = <ID>` edge.
    // Using that directed edge's ID, we can then track (in memory) which IDs belong to which keys.
    // Here is a problem: Multiple public keys can "claim" any node's ID, so this is dangerous!
    // This means we should ONLY trust our "friends" (our key ring) public keys, not any ones.
    // I have not yet added that to SEA yet in this alpha release. That is coming soon, but beware in the meanwhile!
