One doesn't show one's state in mathematical circles, does one?
That would be like showing notes and computations, but not results.
Procedures are talked about in public only when they are the subject
of declarative sentences, such as sentences that explain properties
of procedures. Which then, sadly, might necessitate referring to
examples of procedural computation. ;-)

Dirt (procedures, states) is for the hands of engineers and (some)
educators, mostly for people whose work (programs) has effects on
non-people.
