concept:delegation-mechanism-via-transformationsDelegation Mechanism via β-transformations
Mechanism where lookup failure triggers key transformation via β functions, enabling object delegation and method lookup in dynamic binding systems.

Claims (1)
claim
- 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.
Methods (1)
method
- Primitive Mechanism: n-way Associative Memoryassociated_withThe foundational memory model: a map m associating keys k_i with values v, supporting two operators: associative read and associative write.
Concepts (1)
concept
- Specific instantiation of delegation using τ (type/class pointer) and σ (superclass pointer) as well-known keys, implementing Smalltalk-like inheritance.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- When a lookup returns ε, transform keys using β functions and retry lookup, enabling delegation.
- Using β3 to delegate along the perspective axis, linking different namespaces/contexts.
- A transformation that develops a thick boundary zone around a zone to intensify its coherence.
- Clarification that the multi-axis delegation is sequential and deterministic.
