BEASTObject that performs calculations based on the State.
A node that can be part of the state.
A parameter represents a value in the state space that can be changed by operators.
An integer-valued parameter represents a value (or array of values if the dimension is larger than one) in the state space that can be changed by operators.
Logable: yes, this can be used in a log.
