Well I've put sources and links to multiple pages about the ActiveRecord implementation. The Lucid documentation for the ORM "query building" (which it's the same in EF, LINQ has "Integrated Query" in the name) does track entities and subentities, which is how you can query things update them, then later call `.save()` to persist them back to the database.

However, you seem set on making this a combative conversation rather than a collaborative discussion, so I'll end my participation here.
