The idea is that for the most part, ViewModel data exists somewhere already, and Views merely \"bind\" to that data in order to represent changes in a way that Unity and players can understand.");

            _.Paragraph("Views generated by uFrame inherit from Monobehaviour, and therefore are much like normal Unity components.  Building on top of Monobehaviour, uFrame ties into Unity methods like Update, Start, OnEnable, and OnDestroy in order to implement necessary MVCVM functionality within the Unity environment.  Every View that uFrame generates is meant to exist as a component on a particular GameObject.  For instance, a PlayerView should probably exist on some kind of Player GameObject, and a PlayerHUDView should probably exist on some kind of GUI GameObject to bind to and express a player's stats and other properties.");

            _.Paragraph(" - a PlayerView that represents the player as an animated character moving in space");
            _.Paragraph(" - a PlayerHUDView that represents the player's health, stamina, energy and other stats in your GUI");

            _.Paragraph("All of these would typically want to bind to the same player ViewModel \"instance\", such that they are said to share the same ViewModel, representing the data in different ways.  The most important distinction is that each of these views should concern themselves with ONLY their own representation, meaning that the PlayerView in the above example should not be updating GUI elements, but rather leave that to the PlayerHUDView or possibly PlayerMapView.  Views should be as independent as possible, handling just themselves and their own interactions.  Since any number of Views can bind to the same ViewModel instance, it is up to you to determine how many Views are needed and what their individual responsibilities will be in representing that data inside Unity.");
