One starts to consider the effect of analyzing groups of cooperating objects, such as the collection hierarchy, or the MVC stuff, relative to outside objects.
Such groups could be:
- interactively defined
- informal
- dynamic
This gets at the problem that work is done by informal "teams" of objects that taken together constitute a holon or discrete whole, and present a coherent subsect of their total protocol ot the world.
Protocols could be formalized as objects distinct from other Organizations
in the system.
