Struct zamm_yin::tao::relation::attribute::MetaForm

pub struct MetaForm { /* fields omitted */ }

Archetype associated with this form. This differs from parents, because this defines the form's meta-properties, whereas parents define the form's inherited properties.

pub fn inheritance_wrapper(&self) -> &InheritanceNode

pub fn base_wrapper(&self) -> &BaseNode

Leak base-level functionality.

Trait Implementations

impl ArchetypeTrait for MetaForm

type ArchetypeForm = AttributeArchetype

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

type Form = MetaForm

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 AttributeTrait for MetaForm

type OwnerForm = Form

The Form representing the owner.

type ValueForm = Form

The Form representing the value.

pub fn set_owner(&mut self, owner: &Self::OwnerForm)

Set the owner for this attribute.

pub fn owner(&self) -> Option<Self::OwnerForm>

The owner of an attribute, if it exists.

pub fn set_value(&mut self, value: &Self::ValueForm)

Set the value for this attribute.

pub fn value(&self) -> Option<Self::ValueForm>

The value of an attribute, if it exists.

impl Clone for MetaForm

pub fn clone(&self) -> MetaForm

Returns a copy of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Copy for MetaForm

impl Debug for MetaForm

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Deref for MetaForm

type Target = FinalNode

The resulting type after dereferencing.

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

Dereferences the value.

impl DerefMut for MetaForm

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

Mutably dereferences the value.

impl Eq for MetaForm

impl FormTrait for MetaForm

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.
