generator.clock

A Generator's clock, frame by frame: the live sources it polls, the material clocks and live material values it writes, the playhead it presents, the transport its peers share, advancing time, cooking again once the device returns, building the graph again once something it was built from moved (followBuild), and the tick each frame runs.

One part of the Generator component. ~.generator installs it on a Generator instance's context table, gen, which the component makes once per instance: the part keeps its shared state and the operations other parts call as fields of gen, and what only it reads as locals of its install function, so every instance holds its own.
