I looked over the paper, but I confess I don't understand how it is helping. Would help a ton to have an example effect that didn't dive into distinguishing "Values", "Computations", "Value types," and "Computation types."

In fact, that it distinguishes values, computations, and the types of both seems more inline with my point? That what most "effect systems" are trying to capture are things that are not typically defined in programs?

So, again, give me some examples of effects and how you would model them. That will go a long way to demonstrate what you mean, here. Even better if you can show how this is already modeled in some code. (Note that I'm not trying to ask you to give this in a post. If you have some more things like that paper to look into, I don't mind looking there. I do plan on spending more time with the paper, already.)
