I guess the big take away for me is that the DVR is NOT a pointer to the memory address where a wire/control/indicator is in memory, so there is NO need to hook it to the actual data you want to reference, you just need to create it wired to the the same data type. Then to get the reference to update, you must write in the new values.
That's correct in the sense that it isn't about pointing at a "wire" or some address in memory, but it does start with the value you feed into the new primitive, so you might as well feed a meaningful value there. The main difference from a pointer is that the DVR can only be used with a very limited API (create, R/W, destroy) and that even then, if you split the wire inside the IPE structure, LV will create a copy of the data correctly.
