Michael’s description about what an object constructor does.
 - an o/c called from other code is given a fresh identity
 - an o/c called from an inherits call is given the identity created by the calling o/c

THEN the o/c 
- recursively calls any other o/c that it inherits
- “builds aka/lay out” the object, adding in fields & methods after the methods that are already there 
    into the identity it was given 
- run inits code top-to-bottom on the identity it was given
