Component / Communication

Symploke

Symploke is the communication role in Sven’s architecture. It concerns the movement of messages and relevant state between the parts working on a task.

How it fits

Work may involve different processes, workers and devices. Communication needs to preserve who sent a message, which task it belongs to and how it relates to earlier events.

Responsibility

Delivering a message does not authorize the action it describes or establish that its contents are true. Meaning and authority retain their respective owners.

Information in

Addressed messages, work context and the information needed to relate an event to its cause.

Information out

Delivered messages and attributable communication state.
