;;; Commentary:
;; Handles date calculation as well as ef & interval calculations.
;; Gnosis implements a highly customizable algorithm, inspired by SM-2.
;; Gnosis algorithm does not use user's subjective rating of a note to
;; determine the next review interval, but instead uses the user's
;; success or failure in recalling the answer of a note.
;; Each gnosis note has an ef (easiness factor), which is a list of 3
;; values. The last value is the total ef for a note, which will be
;; used to determine the next interval upon a successful answer recall,
;; the second value is the ef-decrease value, this value will be
;; subtracted from the the total ef upon failure to recall the answer of
;; a note, the first value is the ef increase, will be added to the
;; total ef upon a successful recall.
;; Each gnosis deck has a gnosis-algorithm-ef-threshold, it's an
;; integer value that refers to the consecutive success or failures to
;; recall an answer. Upon reaching the threshold, gnosis-algorithm-ef-decrease
;; or gnosis-algorithm-ef-increase will be applied to the ef-increase or
;; ef-decrease of note.
