Weave
Defines a collection of ornaments.
Ornament
Has reactive inputs and outputs. Serves as an externally invocable entry point. Contains spells or nested ornament instances connected by stitches. Can be distributed within an edition.
Spell
Has reactive inputs and outputs. Atomic execution unit. Cannot be directly invoked by an edition consumer. May have an inscription. Created from a scroll and executed in the shelf environment.
Stitch
Connects a reactive input to a compatible reactive output. Can be decorated on both upstream and downstream ends. May be parameterized by a reactive input, consuming variable assignments for the decoration.
Stitch decorator
Defines reactive behavior. May refer to variables defined by the reactive input.
Inscription
Defines code in a scripting language to be run when the corresponding spell is executed. 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 spell configuration. Provides default upstream/downstream stitch decorators for outputs/inputs respectively. Declares runtime compatibility (browser-only, non-browser, or universal).
Shelf
Contains a collection of scrolls. Provisions a shared runtime environment for spells based on these scrolls.
Edition
Represents (a part of) the weave as a grimoire, a servitor, or a consistent collection of these.
Grimoire
Presents a subweave as a program with human-facing interface. Uses bridge spells to communicate with servitor-side ornaments within the same edition. Has a dedicated interface ornament (entry point).
Servitor
Presents a subweave as a local/remote daemon's/server's endpoints/methods.
Loom
Provisions tools for interactive or programmatic weaving.
