[FRIAM] What is an object?

[Marcus Daniels]

“Perhaps one could argue that the studiously acquired lens that allows one to think about the detailed mechanisms of a computer program is not helpful, nor anywhere close to correct and is not an efficient way to reason about the world outside the computer?”

In that case, one can combine a lens that informs how to construct computer programs with another lens that captures domain requirements and that enables experimentation using a more convenient language.
This goes by names like application, simulation, library, or embedded domain specific language (EDSL).

Some examples:
