 For simplicity, our application will have only one module, and we're going to use it as the namespace for our application.
 
+In Mithril, a *module* is an object that contains two functions: `controller` and `view`.

+```

+In addition to holding a controller and a view, a module is typically also used to store data that pertains to it.

+Typically, model entities are reusable and live outside of modules (e.g. `var User = ...`). In our example, since the whole application lives in one module, we're going to use the module as a namespace for our model entities.
