Hi Marius,
what i wrote in the last mail is my personal usage of notions up till
now (because i was asked). I don't think that it's the way to go.
The meta term for me is "object", as said before.

For abstractions, the word is "abstraction". An abstraction in

"abstraction" or "external/binary object". I always use "external object" to mean an object that can't be
opened as a patch.for pdpedia I would like to have the same page layout for external
objects and abstractions. I am talking about standardized
abstractions like the pdmtl abstractions. I refer to the pd
fileformat, that lists abstractions as "obj". I therefore tend to
call abstraction also "objects". a message in my opinion is no object. I think also a sub patch is
not a real object, although it is created in an object box. (if you
open the pd file with a text editor, you will not find the word
"obj", it is a canvas, which is also not an object for me, I am not
sure about atomboxes (numbers and symbols). but also arrays and
comments are no objects in that sense. otherwise, please can someone find a meta term for "everything that
can be created inside an objectbox (ctrl-1)". marius.
