There is a programming concept called concurrency, it allows a set of 
code to be simultaneously be executed by separate threads, a very useful 
thing. The gist of it does not allow for fixed variables to determine 
the state of code, as two copies of the code running at the same time 
might need different set of states. State is generally a bad idea as it 
prevents concurrency, it can be done by each instance having it's own 
state data, but that is messy in Forth.

Since Forth use of data is mostly stack based it should be a perfect 
vehicle to allow concurrency but fixed state variables ruin it, things 
like base created problems. That is also why C creates stack frames so 
each function can have it's own private variables and state and not mess 
up concurrency.
