An update on Scopes or Context

by Peter Chapman

In a previous post, I had started to think about object references (proper nouns) and how that should work.  After more thought today, it seems that not only are the scopes or contexts a set of trees that get traversed to find an object reference, but the objects themselves must add have their own scopes that get added into the search order. I haven’t figured out yet how all these pieces fit together yet. Something to look forward to for tomorrow.

One could imagine a story that introduces a known character and by doing so, introduces that characters metadata into the scope for future words.
