 Modules must implement [interfaces](../building-modules/module-manager.md#application-module-interfaces) defined in the Cosmos SDK, [`AppModuleBasic`](../building-modules/module-manager.md#appmodulebasic) and [`AppModule`](../building-modules/module-manager.md#appmodule). The former implements basic non-dependent elements of the module, such as the `codec`, while the latter handles the bulk of the module methods (including methods that require references to other modules' `keeper`s). Both the `AppModule` and `AppModuleBasic` types are defined in a file called `./module.go`.
 
-`AppModule` exposes a collection of useful methods on the module that facilitates the composition of modules into a coherent application. These methods are called from the `module manager`(../building-modules/module-manager.md#manager), which manages the application's collection of modules.

 ### ValidateBasic
 
 Messages ([`sdk.Msg`](../core/transactions.md#messages)) are extracted from transactions (`Tx`). The `ValidateBasic` method of the `sdk.Msg` interface implemented by the module developer is run for each transaction. 
-To discard obviously invalid messages, the BaseApp` type calls the `ValidateBasic` method very early in the processing of the message in the [`CheckTx`](../core/baseapp.md#checktx) and [`DeliverTx`](../core/baseapp.md#delivertx)) transactions.

 `ValidateBasic` can include only **stateless** checks (the checks that do not require access to the state).
