Instance System

Graphical Representation

We can use colors to represent the three fundamental types of the instance system:

Type Color Tag Token
Entity Instance --celestial-blue Entity Instance
<span class="tag rg-component">Component</span>
Entity Instance
<span class="token rg-entity-instance">Entity Instance</span>
Relation Instance --mexican-pink Relation Instance
<span class="tag rg-component">Component</span>
Relation Instance
<span class="token rg-relation-instance">Relation Instance</span>

For example, to represent that the User ‘Hanack’ (which is an entity instance) belongs to (which is a relation instance) the organization Inexor (which is also an entity instance), we would use the colors like so:

Hanack---belongs to-->Inexor

Instance System Colors vs. Type System Colors

The colors don’t infer with the colors of the type system. It’s possible to use all of these colors:

User---belongs to-->Organization
Hanack---belongs to-->Inexor
