process
programs and their execution
A node carries no inherent meaning. What
process means here emerges from the edges traceable from it, and confidence in that meaning is proportional to how richly it is connected. It is connected to 2 of 23 primitives here. That, and not the sentence above, is what it means. The discipline this follows.The 2 primitives with this family
| Primitive | Published gloss | Spelled out | Undo | In how many shapes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
execute.process.host | Run programs as the account | execute.process.host | with-effort | 6 of 9 |
execute.process.self | Run programs inside its own sandbox only | execute.process.self | yes | 0 of 9 |
