6 | 17 /What is a directed graph?/ |
18 | |
19 Several systems take the form of a directed graph: | |
3 | 20 |
4 | 21 - dependencies |
3 | 22 - workflow |
23 | |
7 | 24 IntentMadeManifest *utilizes* directed graphs. A framework is provided |
25 along with instances to form a library: | |
4 | 26 |
7 | 27 - VCS: git, hg, etc. |
28 - decorators: actions | |
6 | 29 |
7 | 30 http://k0s.org/hg/WSGraph is built upon for interface. |

5 | 47 |
6 | 48 * hybrid: of course, since IRL |
49 `workflow = DAG; dependencies = DAG => ...` , | |
9 | 50 Since a `transition` is causal but necessarily with the `t` |
51 of spacetime, indeed from the above: `workflow == dependency processing`. | |
52 You can do some crazy things: | |
6 | 53 - actions: a class with method dependencies noted by decorators |
54 (see actions.py) | |
