## Introduction

Used by the [Verlet Hierarch](https://kb.heathen.group/old-kb/toolkit-for-physics/physkit/objects/verlet-hierarchy) object. This represents a particle in a Verlet Integration system. Typically you would never need to access or use this object where it is only used internally by various Verlet based tools and components.
