Grimu-R glossary
Weave
Defines a collection of braids. Represented by files on disk.
Braid
Has reactive inputs and outputs. Serves as an externally invocable entry point. Contains sigils and/or nested braid instances connected by strands. Can be distributed within a schism aspect.
Sigil
Has reactive inputs and outputs. Atomic execution unit. Cannot be directly invoked by an aspect consumer. May have an inscription. Created from a scroll and executed in the grimoire environment.
Strand
Connects a reactive input to a compatible reactive output. Can be cadence-decorated on both upstream and downstream ends. May be parameterized by a reactive input, consuming variable assignments for the cadence decoration.
Cadence
Defines reactive behavior. May refer to variables defined by the reactive input.
Inscription
Defines a script, a template or a configuration for a sigil to be executed with. May be defined statically in the weave or considered a reactive input.
Scroll
Defines source code, its build dependencies and runtime environment. Provides a default sigil configuration. Provides default upstream/downstream cadence decorators for outputs/inputs respectively. Declares runtime compatibility (browser-only, non-browser, or universal).
Grimoire
Complete environment required to execute (a part of) a weave.
Schism
Splits the weave by grouping its braids into coherent collections of aspects.
Aspect
Represents a collection of entire braids as an individual program. Uses rifts to communicate with other aspects within the same schism.
Rift
Acts as a proxy for a braid instance that was separated into a different aspect. Enables strands to cross process and network boundaries.
Binding
Provides a build strategy for a schism. Maps an aspect to a specific build recipe producing an executable or a container.
Loom
Provisions tools for interactive or programmatic weaving and execution.
