 Imagine asking your partner about what food they want to eat. But instead of a straightforward answer based on your question alone and some state (i.e. hunger levels, craving ratios, etc), the function's response is influenced by other factors; the day of the week, and the state of the day or week prior. We can simulate this: ((go through the ratios and outputs)).

 When we execute the first block, we get the expected result of `fib(5)`.
