 * A mote interface represents a mote property. Typically, this is a simulated

 * that the mote itself is unaware of, for example the current position of
 * the mote.
 *
 * Interfaces are the main way for the simulator to interact with a simulated
 * mote.
 *
 * Each interface can be polled before and after mote ticks.
 * This is controlled by implementing the correct Java interfaces,
 * such as PolledBeforeActiveTicks.
