All three parts can be in some manner independent and still connected to the same reactive entity.</p><p>Observables are implemented in the library as functions. To see current value of observable, just call it without any arguments <code>console.log(observable())</code>.

For listenning the observable value changes, use <code>O.on(observable, console.log)</code>.</p><p>Similarly to the <code>on</code> function to register DOM events listener.
