Deferred Handoff & Portable Context¶
Primes about decoupling an action or responsibility from its immediate context, including callbacks and suspension that defer execution, containerization and portable context bundles that carry environment along, custody transfer and release from a controlling context, and logging as a durable trace.
8 primes in this family — primes that sit near one another in abstraction space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its short description.
- Callback — A named action handed off in advance, to be invoked later by someone else when a specified condition arises, releasing the registrant from synchronous waiting.
- Containerization — Wrap a unit with its dependencies behind a standardized exterior so substrate-blind handlers can move it intact.
- Custody Transfer — A discrete moment at which responsibility for something passes from one holder to another, releasing the first and binding the second through an explicit triggering act.
- Indirection — Introduces intermediary references.
- Logging — Record events as they occur, append-only, for inspection after the fact.
- Portable Context Bundle — A behaviour-unit carries the context it was defined in, resolving against its definition-time environment rather than the ambient one at use.
- Release From Controlling Context — An actor's intrinsic dynamics, calibrated by a home context's constraints, run unconstrained when moved to a recipient context lacking them.
- Suspension — A prepared element persists into a changed context, becomes dissonant, then resolves by a small move.
