I'm not totally sure, but I sense that you may need a one-instant delay
in your looping code here:


>         rec
>             let senses = map (\state -> (inputEvents, state)) states
>             states <- par route activities -< senses

Try adding a one-instant delay by passing the output of your parallel
switch through the iPre signal function:

    states <- iPre [] <<< par route activities -< senses

Hope that helps.


Greets,
