A variation on the Model-View-Intent (MVI) and State-Action-Model (SAM) paradigms using
- intents for rejecting or accepting user interaction and commands,
- (immediate) effects for updating the model according to observed events without feedback,
- tasks for inducing concurrent side-effects.
The semantic distinction of external triggers, inputs, or events (as in event sourcing) into intents and effects is the characteristic difference from existing approaches. Both stimuli are combined into a messages for transporting and feeding them into the system.
Each message induces at most one task for triggering side-effects.
Combining intent, effect, and task gives infect.
