6.19. Architecture

This part discusses the architectural design of Interscript. Here is a simplified picture of which objects refer to which others. Interscript maintains several objects that act as _frames_ (or namespaces) for symbol lookup.

  FRAMES
    process_frame  --> global_frame
    master_frame   --> process_frame
    pass_frame     --> master_frame
    input_frame    --> pass_frame
                   --> weaver_filter
                   --> stack of tangler

    tangler        --> multiplexor
                   --> sink

    weaver_filter  --> multiplexor
    multiplexor    --> weaver
    weaver         --> sink
