Trait Implementations

impl ArchetypeFormTrait for Archetype

type SubjectForm = Form

The ArchetypeTrait as defined for an Archetype will have an Archetype-based Form for reasoning about other nodes as archetypes. The Archetype's Form is the observer, and the subject under observation will have a different type for its leaves. This subject's Form should therefore be the most specific FormTrait that is still general enough to represent everything this ArchetypeTrait can observe.

pub fn individuate_as_archetype(&self) -> Self::Form

Create a subtype of the archetype represented by this Archetype instance.

pub fn individuate_as_form(&self) -> Self::SubjectForm

Create a new individual of the archetype represented by this Archetype instance.

pub fn individuals(&self) -> Vec<Self::SubjectForm>

Individuals that adhere to this archetype. It is possible that some of these individuals might not be direct descendants of the archetype in question.

pub fn child_archetypes(&self) -> Vec<Self::Form>

Retrieve child archetypes.

pub fn add_attribute(&mut self, attribute_type: &AttributeArchetype)

Add an attribute type to this archetype.

pub fn added_attributes(&self) -> Vec<AttributeArchetype>

Retrieve non-inherited attribute types that are introduced by this archetype to all descendant archetypes. Attribute types introduced by an ancestor do not count.

pub fn attributes(&self) -> Vec<AttributeArchetype>

Get all the types of attributes that this concept is predefined to potentially have.

pub fn has_attribute(&self, possible_type: &AttributeArchetype) -> bool

Checks to see if an archetype is one of the possible attribute types this concept could have.

pub fn mesa_archetype(&self) -> Archetype

Opposite of a form's meta_archetype. This retrieves the form that this meta represents.

pub fn flags(&self) -> Vec<Archetype>

Get all the types of flags that this type of concept is predefined to potentially have.

pub fn has_flag(&self, possible_type: &Archetype) -> bool

Checks to see if this type of concept is predefined to have this as a flag.

pub fn add_flag(&mut self, attribute_type: &Archetype)

Add a flag type to this archetype.

pub fn added_flags(&self) -> Vec<Archetype>

Retrieve non-inherited flag types that are introduced by this archetype to all descendant archetypes. Flag types introduced by an ancestor do not count.

impl ArchetypeTrait for Archetype

type ArchetypeForm = Archetype

The Form that will be used to reason about this node and its children as archetypes and subtypes.

type Form = Archetype

The Form that will be used to reason about this node's leaves as individuals. Unless you are the Tao, this should be the same as the type that ArchetypeTrait is being implemented on.

pub const TYPE_ID: usize

The ID for this archetype.

pub const TYPE_NAME: &'static str

The name of this archetype.

pub const PARENT_TYPE_ID: usize

The default parent this archetype inherits from. Every archetype should have at least one parent, so that it doesn't live in a separate universe of its own. This helps enforce that, since allocations are not allowed in Rust constants.

pub fn archetype() -> Self::ArchetypeForm

The incarnation of this archetype as a form.

pub fn new() -> Self::Form

In the beginning was the Oneness, and the Oneness was nothingness.

impl Clone for Archetype

pub fn clone(&self) -> Archetype

Returns a copy of the value.

pub fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Copy for Archetype

impl Debug for Archetype

pub fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Deref for Archetype

type Target = FinalNode

The resulting type after dereferencing.

pub fn deref(&self) -> &Self::Target

Dereferences the value.

impl DerefMut for Archetype

pub fn deref_mut(&mut self) -> &mut Self::Target

Mutably dereferences the value.

impl Eq for Archetype

impl FormTrait for Archetype

pub fn ego_death(&self) -> Tao

Jung called, and you answered. It is time to let go of your individuality and return to the Oneness from which you once came. There is no life or death, there is no existence or non-existence, there is no form or abstraction. Forget all preconceptions, blur all boundaries, be at peace with the universe again.

pub fn as_form(&self) -> Form

A less severe form of ego-death, where you still remember that you exist.

pub fn add_parent(&mut self, parent: Archetype)

Set a parent archetype. The current archetype will inherit all attributes of the parent archetype.

pub fn is_individual(&self) -> bool

Whether this represents an individual.

pub fn parents(&self) -> Vec<Archetype>

Get all direct parent archetypes of this concept.

pub fn ancestry(&self) -> Vec<Archetype>

Get the shortest chain of ancestors that leads back to Tao, starting with Tao itself.

pub fn has_parent(&self, possible_ancestor: Archetype) -> bool

Checks to see if another archetype is a direct parent of this one.

pub fn has_ancestor(&self, possible_ancestor: Archetype) -> bool

Checks to see if another archetype is an ancestor of this one. If so, the current archetype will inherit all attributes of the ancestor.

pub fn meta(&self) -> Self::ArchetypeForm

View the current node from its meta perspective.

pub fn meta_archetype(&self) -> Archetype

Get the node representing the current node's meta-perspective.

pub fn specific_meta(&mut self) -> Archetype

Grab the meta-perspective that's specific to the current type. If it doesn't exist yet, then it will be created.

pub fn has_specific_meta(&self) -> bool

Whether or not this type has its own specific meta. If it doesn't, that means its meta object is inherited.

pub fn set_meta_archetype(&mut self, archetype: &Archetype)

Set the meta-form for this Form.

pub fn mark_individual(&mut self)

Mark this concept as representing an individual.
