At the most fundamendal level there are at least few ways to interpret link structure:

  1. As a state: a) The Source is reference to all previous (past) states. So the Target is a current or final state. b) The Source is current or first state. The Target is reference to all next (future) states. c) The sequence of states, with one of them as current state.
  2. Link is never a state, it is a pure fact of connection between objects in concrete direction (From Source to Target).
  3. Link is an transition between Source state and Target state.
  4. Link is a point (all references are self-references) or partial point (not all references are self-references, but at least one).
  5. Link is a pair in sequence (pair itself is subsequences made of two other subsequences), connecting left subsequence and right subsequence.

Now links platfrom store informantion not only about links themselves, but also about refereres (usages) of these links. Here are also some variants exists:

  1. Than one link uses another as a Target it can be interpreted as one of the Parents.
  2. Than one link uses another as a Source it can be interpreted as one of the Children.
  3. All usages are just usages (references), and have nothing common with any interpretation variants. Meaning all usages are just children.

May be all of these interpretations are can be used in specific situations.

For now it is just a draft, my be someone will have over ideas? This draft is applicable both to binary links, pair links (Source, Target) and triple links (Source, Linker, Target).

After a while.. Looks like link can be a pure link only in case when it connects other two links, but itself has no usages at all... Still there many possible interpretations.

Is it actually possible to create single interpretation system that is still can be used universally?
