Global
System-wide scope
Definition
Mechanism
A marker interface. A pattern tagged 'Global' applies across the whole of the system or context that contains it, rather than to a subset — Global(Policy) binds every party, a local policy binds one. It marks SCOPE, not universality: what counts as 'the whole' is fixed by the containing context, so a Global tag inside one system says nothing about any other. Carried by descendants as a modifier; it is not instantiated on its own.
Invariants
- The extent of 'global' is the containing context's boundary, which must be identifiable.
- Non-instantiable: Global tags another pattern and has no standalone instance.
