Adjacency ItemAn Adjacency Item is a member of a Kuratowski's ordered pair, and represents an elementary constituent of a model, used to reference an Element. It is a basic construct to form Kuratowski's ordered pairs. An Adjacency Item is either a Reference Adjacency or a Nesting Adjacency . |

Nesting Adjacency |
A Nesting Adjacency is an Adjacency Item that references its Element by nesting. Nesting is a fundamental concept in complex systems organization where Entitys are contained within other Entitys, creating hierarchical or web-like structures. This embedding mechanism intrinsically links the properties, behaviors, and lifecycles of nested Elements to their containing Elements, forming cohesive units at multiple scales. Nesting facilitates the emergence of complex aggregates and properties from simpler Entitys, enables efficient design of systems across levels, and supports both autonomy and integration within systems. |
Reference Adjacency |
A Reference Adjacency is an Adjacency Item Item that references its target Element through some identification mechanism kind (for instance, indexing mechanism using IDS and Keys, or physical pointers such as Cylinder.Head.Sector for files on hard-drives). |
