claim:selector-centric-vs-type-centric-inheritance-symmetrySelector-Centric vs Type-Centric Inheritance Symmetry
Piumarta argues that delegation can occur along two orthogonal axes (objects vs slot names), revealing a fundamental symmetry between type-centric and selector-centric inheritance most systems ignore.
