By making lifecycle management an explicit and necessary construct, we encourage developers to provide application-specific semantics for lifecycle state changes.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Runtime architecture must be explicitly represented in code through lifecycle constructs, not just static class relationships.claim0.792
  Assertion that temporal aspects of system behavior are as important as structural aspects and require first-class treatment.
• Make the components with which the user interacts standard applications which provide standard facilities and interfaces. These applications have a standard interface by which the backplane can manage their lifecycle methods. These applications can be dynamically loaded to help reduce the overall footprint of the system. Avoid having applications communicate directly with one another – use the interface repository for this purpose.claim0.785
  Prescriptive claim for the STANDARD APPLICATIONS pattern.
• Lifecycle Managementconcept0.768
  Explicit construct making system and application state transitions formal, enabling runtime architecture to be dynamic and responsive to change.
• An explicit focus on runtime architecture leads to a more dynamic and changeable system.claim0.757
  Core design philosophy of the paper.
• We want to build systems which can be enhanced and modified in a piecemeal fashion. This is necessary because the requirements for systems inevitably change, sometimes even before they are deployed for the very first time.quote0.751
  Opening statement of the GARDEN OF APPLICATIONS pattern, articulating the core force.
• Abstraction is the key of any modularization; without it, reliability and correctness guarantees vanish.claim0.749
  Fundamental design principle driving Oberon: proper abstraction enables modular structure and maintainability.
• Possibly the most basic and necessary feature of any living process is the fact that it goes gradually.claim0.747
  Core thesis of the chapter: gradual, step-by-step progression is the bedrock of life.
• The key issue in the contract needed to create life is control over money.claim0.747
  Traditional contracts create conflicts of interest that prevent adaptation.
