| 6 | 14 /What is a directed graph?/ |
| 15 | |
| 16 Several systems take the form of a directed graph: | |
| 3 | 17 |
| 4 | 18 - dependencies |
| 3 | 19 - workflow |
| 20 | |
| 7 | 21 IntentMadeManifest *utilizes* directed graphs. A framework is provided |
| 22 along with instances to form a library: | |
| 4 | 23 |
| 7 | 24 - VCS: git, hg, etc. |
| 25 - decorators: actions | |
| 6 | 26 |
| 7 | 27 http://k0s.org/hg/WSGraph is built upon for interface. |

| 5 | 44 |
| 6 | 45 * hybrid: of course, since IRL |
| 46 `workflow = DAG; dependencies = DAG => ...` , | |
| 9 | 47 Since a `transition` is causal but necessarily with the `t` |
| 48 of spacetime, indeed from the above: `workflow == dependency processing`. | |
| 49 You can do some crazy things: | |
| 6 | 50 - actions: a class with method dependencies noted by decorators |
