I guess philosophically, #basicNew creates an incomplete object, so sending it messages is in the hands of the gods. Now the following works okay...��
�� �� Behavior new basicNew

So something in its #initialize makes it not crash.�� Rolling out Behanior>>initialize and commenting out a line at a time to get the minimum statements to prevent crashing results in the following... ��

�� �� behavior := Behavior basicNew.

�� ����"behavior superclass: Object."
�� ����"behavior methodDict: behavior emptyMethodDictionary."

�� ����behavior setFormat: Object format.

�� ����"behavior traitComposition: nil."
�� ����"behavior users: IdentitySet new."

�� �� behavior basicNew.

So the VM will crash if you fail to #setFormat.�� That is as far as mu understanding goes.��
