Abstract
A digital computer system having a prototype list, an activation identifier, and a control portion. The prototype list having a plurality of entries each associated with a prototype object, at least some entries including an interaction list for specifying prototype objects and actions. The activation identifier identifies activation of an instance of an object; and the control portion is responsive to the identification, by the action identifier, of activation of an object for performing operations on objects as-identified by the interaction list of a prototype entry associated with the instance of the activated object.
