/*
The State Transitioning Model
A state transition is a change made when a transaction is applied to the current world state
The state transitioning model does all the necessary work to work out a valid new state root.
1) Nonce handling
2) Pre pay gas
3) Create a new state object if the recipient is \0*32
4) Value transfer
== If contract creation ==
4a) Attempt to run transaction data
4b) If valid, use result as code for the new state object
== end ==
5) Run Script section
6) Derive new state root
