infect

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.

Naming

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.
