## Description

React Cursor is a state management library for React applications that maintains centralized application state through hierarchical cursor paths and immutable data modeling. It stores all application data in a single root location, keeping downward component trees stateless and predictable.

The library enables path-based cursor refinement, allowing developers to drill down through recursive data structures to create localized child cursors pointing to specific nested substructures. Modifications are propagated upward by generating new immutable state trees using pure function updates applied to cursor paths, while preserving immutability guarantees across the backing data store.
