In GS&V's system, possibilities are triples of an assignment function, `r`, a store `g`, and a world `w`. We're leaving the worlds out. Also, instead of just working with pairs `(r, g)`, we're working with state monads for which those pairs constitute the states we update. * [More hints](/hints/assignment_7_hint_3).
