Subsections

5. Subsets

5.1 Definition

A TUNES system SUBSET is a specified restricted group of capabilities that fulfill the common criteria of functionality of some TUNES aspect or subsystem. The intended purposes of a subset may be to bootstrap or connect from legacy systems; both purposes can be satisfied simultaneously. Another purpose of a TUNES subset may be to enforce some invariants for the sake of providing an environment customized to a particular idiom or style, and easing the implementation's load in rendering the environment efficiently.

5.2 Core/Bootstrap Language Semantics

5.2.1 Introduction

The ``HLL-'' language is a defined SUBSET of the TUNES system High-Level aspect. The primary design considerations include proper allowance for extension into the full system, avoidance of limiting semantics or features, and easy of implementation.

5.2.2 Semantics

5.2.3 Syntax

5.3 T3P/TM3P Module Encoding Protocol

5.3.1 Introduction

The TUNES Package Publishing Protocol (or ``T3P'') is a defined initial ENCODING for the Migration aspect of the TUNES system. The primary design considerations include independence of the communications medium, universal extensibility at least to the level of the HLL-, and generality in negociating information transfers.

5.4 Initial Standard Publication System

5.4.1 Introduction
