+propagators
+===========
+
+[![Hackage](https://img.shields.io/hackage/v/propagators.svg)](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/propagators) [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/ekmett/propagators.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/ekmett/propagators)
+
+Propagators propagate increases in information from cell to cell.
+
+They are described (using Scheme) in Alexey Radul and Gerald Sussman's ["The Art of the Propagator"](http://web.mit.edu/~axch/www/art.pdf) as well as in Alexey Radul's thesis on [Propagation Networks](http://web.mit.edu/~axch/www/phd-thesis.pdf).
+
+This package explores design options for propagators in Haskell. The primary innovation here (beyond the published work) is the use of observable sharing to let us take a more direct form of programming and transform it back and forth to the propagator style.
