Trace Analysis Patterns (Part 228)

Sunday, February 19th, 2023

If necessary, for example, for the conversion to Text Trace, individual trace messages may need to be converted to message text form blending various message constituents like ATIDs, Message Invariants, data, and Trace Constants into some textual narrative form. We illustrate it in the following diagram:

We call the resulting message text Denormalized Message. It is the reverse process than finding Features of Activity and constructing structured messages conforming to some Trace Schema.

In addition to Trace Skeleton, we can insert Silent Messages, treat non-silent messages as instances of some template message, and even take Quotient Trace of them, leaving the position of final non-silent messages intact. This is similar to retraction in topology, so we name this analysis pattern Trace Retract and illustrate it in the following diagram:

Trace Analysis Patterns (Part 226)

When we construct Trace Molecule, we may find that some Message Complex links from different ATIDs point to the same message and Tracemes. In such a case we have Message Bond by analogy with covalent bonds. One such example is illustrated in the following diagram:
