Primes

• Directed Acyclic Graph
  • Software builds (make, Bazel, Nix, module imports) treat files as nodes and dependencies as edges, with cycles flagged as errors.

    This sourceBuild systems model file dependencies as a DAG and flag cycles as errors.

• Frame Problem
  • The relevant-ramifications region is exactly the transitive closure of the edited file's reverse dependencies — the object file compiled from it, anything that links that object, the binary.
