Furthermore, a third language structure comprising an active expression initially having at least one invocation, the invocation comprising an association with a particular definition and the fully formed input data name of the actuality expression is provided. Subsequently, the process of resolving invocations begins in the active expression with fully formed input data names in relation to their associated definition to produce at least one or both of the following: (1) an invocation with a fully formed input data name and (2) a result data name.
