I'm not sure I understand exactly, but if you want to do it via Morphic
stepping, you could implement e.g. ModelTickingMorph which is invisible and
has no extent, and steps your model in it's #step.

or you could use a process:
[ [ myModelObject step. 1 second asDelay wait ] repeat ] fork.

except that you then will be also responsible for managing forked process

by implementing it.. else it will loop forever, your object will never be GCed,

consume CPU & waste memory :)

oh.. and each time you test it once more, it will readily spawn another process with same characteristics :)

Maybe there should be a SystemStepper / Cron object that can be registered on.
