 ## lists
-a list is a special type of noun. they contain any amount of nouns in a specific order, including lists themselves. certain operators expect lists as operands. if a nonlist is passed to these operators, then the operand is treated as a list containing that noun. lists can be composed with the `,` operator. it is similar to a "cons" operation. it appends the first operand to the second operand, which is assumed to be a list.

 lists exist unconditionally. there is only one instance of a given list. lists are not the same thing as anything else and they cannot cause anything to happen.
