claim:runtime-architecture-must-be-explicitly-represented-in-code-through-lifecycle-constructs-not-just-static-class-relationships

Runtime architecture must be explicitly represented in code through lifecycle constructs, not just static class relationships.

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.claim0.763
