Abstract
A methodology for developing scalable systems based on a technique for the composition of objects to form a larger, composite object using Interface Cycles, which are canonical programs, hardware, or abstractions which interlock protection, distribution, and coordination of data and control from the objects. The methodology thus allows the interconnected objects to form the new composite object which is subject to the same principles as the underlying objects and which may then used in any stage of the life cycle of a system. An Interface Cycle transitions through discrete phases only by agreement of all object interfaces connected by the Interface Cycle. Protection and data distribution of composite data collected from all the objects are effected under control of the Interface Cycle.
