The internal control hierarchy of Pipi
Mike invented and designed Pipi and founded Ajabbi.
Pipi is a self-organising system. Self-regulating constraints operate on internal models. Pipi has numerous internal hierarchies of control, with inherited properties, including multiple inheritance.
Examples include;
- Class packages: eg, namespace
- Nested systems: eg, Account > Deployment > Deployment Object > Publication > Website > Workspace
- Schema, ontologies, etc.: eg, SNOMED, MovieLab
- Design systems: eg, Account > Design System > Component > Design Token
