[1] See my challenge-email to find a definition of the window of time that gives meaning to the word "immediately" in the case where process B is instantiated indirectly or directly because of an action in process A. If process B is instantiated independent of process A, just assume that the collective authority hold by process A is the empty set. -2.

None of the capabilities in this non-empty set provide the ability to write-out. This categorization does not say anything about encapsulation. However, it is to be understood from the description that in category 0, 2 and 3, process B is encapsulated. If it were not, the collective authority that is hold by A would include the authority of B by transition. In category 1, it is to be understood that process B, in principle, can not be successfully encapsulated (to see this, pay attention to the fact that process A could pre-arrange its authority so that no capability it has provides the possibility for encapsulation). |
