Boxes

Boxes are the main elements at stake in the composition of a patch. Each box type refers to a given functional component : a function, an object, a value, a program or sub program, and so on. Among these, function[1] boxes, and object or factory boxes[2] appear as major tools. They also are the most numerous ones. This section lists and describes each of these OM box types, their behavior and use.
