Trace Analysis Patterns (Part 217)

Saturday, February 4th, 2023

(Adjoint) Threads of Activity can be interpreted as braids (multibraiding). This braid analogy assumes that all (adjoint) threads implicitly start and end outside of the trace boundaries. However, some (adjoint) threads may start after the beginning of the tracing or end before the finishing of the tracing. Such modified braids are called braidoids. There can be several braidoids per trace based on the chosen (A)TIDs. We call this analysis pattern Trace Braidoids and one, based on TID, is illustrated in the following diagram:

We added arc crossings when a different TID becomes current. Please also compare these crossings with other analysis patterns such as Braid Group and Braid of Activity.
