- Multimethod (Generic Function) Dispatchrelated_tosame_asn-dimensional association model can express binding mechanisms for multimethods by letting values range over methods of arity n and applying appropriate α and β transformations.
- Keys as Meta-Taxonomic Dimensionsassociated_withEach key position n creates an independent taxonomic dimension; additional key positions enable multi-dimensional delegation and namespace constraints.
