It does have to do with events.
Remember how to set and retrieve .ini values for windows? Same difference, but using events to narrow the data further.
Within an event, you can call self_parameter(id, value) to set a single identifiable id string (ie 'gender'), and then set that id's value (like 'male'). That id/value combination is unique for that event. Go to another event, and you can set THAT value to female. Each event can be set to a different value for that id.
You can then use value = self_parameter(id) to retrieve that same said value.
Now if you want to have a default set of values, look into his 'Autoselfparameters' add-on... I think.
