-To simplify implementation of nodes we enforce the following rule: all nodes only operate on data they own and any other
+### Ownership of evaluation data (inputs and outputs)
-data (e.g. inputs and outputs) are specified via arguments. This keeps the nodes dumb and pushes bookkeeping of data

-that is only needed during evaluation to the Blend Tree.

+
+Advantages:
+
+* Simplifies nodes and pushes complexities to the Blend Tree and State Machine class.
+* Simplifies testing of nodes
+* Resulting API could be exposed to GDScript such that custom nodes could be implemented in GDScript.
+
+Disadvantages:
+
+* Data has to be managed by the Blend Tree => additional bookkeeping
