# A Frame is set up by functions that use local variables or temporary variables
|

# in fact temporary variables are local variables named by the system
|
||||
# A NamedList is for local variables arguments when calling methods.
|
||||
# Also temporary variables, which are local variables named by the system
|
||||
|
||||
# It allows for access to those variables basically
|
||||
# The items are named (and typed) by the objects type instance. In effect the

# variables are like instance variables

# A Message and a Frame make up the two sides of message passing:
|
||||
# A Message with is arguments, and a NamedList make up the two sides of message passing:
|
||||
# A Message (see details there) is created by the caller and control is transferred
|
||||
# A Frame is created by the receiver
|
||||
# A NamedList is created by the receiver
|
||||
# PS: it turns out that both messages and frames are created at compile, not run-time, and
|
||||
# just constantly reused. Each message has a frame object ready and is also linked
|
||||
# to the next message.
|
||||
# The better way to say above is that a message is *used* by the caller, and a frame by the callee.
|
||||
|
||||
# Also at runtime Messages and Frames remain completely "normal" objects.

# Also at runtime Messages and NamedLists remain completely "normal" objects.

# Ie they have have type and instances and so on.*

# Which resolves the dichotomy of objects on the stack or heap. Sama sama.

# *Alas the type for each call instance is unique.
