Each compartment within the active brain is addressed by a triple of numbers. The node on which it exists, the cell id, and the compartment number within that cell. This structure encapsulates those numbers into a unit, with the intention of eliminating some name confusion, shortening argument lists, and so on. The elements are signed ints, so that negative values will be available to serve as flags.

Currently the flag scheme isn't used everywhere. It should be added as modifications are made. Flag values: Cell = -1: Message not from cell, but from external stimulus Cmp may contain additional info
