Policies in AMP

Policies perform the active management enabled by AMP. Entities can have zero or more Policy instances attached to them.

Policies can subscribe to sensors from entities or run periodically, and when they run they can perform calculations, look up other values, and if deemed necessary invoke effectors or emit sensor values from the entity with which they are associated.
