```
 abstract void update(@Nonnull() Time currentTime, boolean executed, double param, @Nonnull() Environment<T, out Object> environment)
```
    Updates the internal status.
    
    Parameters:
    
    currentTime - current time
    
    executed - true if the reaction has just been executed
    
    param - a parameter passed by the reaction
    
    environment - the current environment
  - getNextOccurence
```
 abstract Time getNextOccurence()
```
    Returns:
    
    the next time at which the event will occur
  - getRate
```
 abstract double getRate()
```
    Returns:
    
    how many times per time unit the event will happen on average
  - cloneOnNewNode
```
 abstract TimeDistribution<T> cloneOnNewNode(@Nonnull() Node<T> destination, @Nonnull() Time currentTime)
```
    Parameters:
    
    destination - the node where the newly created time distribution will be placed
    
    currentTime - the time at which the cloning operation happened
    
    Returns:
    
    an exact copy of this TimeDistribution
