The WordSignature is the complete information about the word of a LopLanguage (e.g. ThelopLanguage). It contains: * word (e.g. File) * class (e.g. object) * meaning (e.g. represents a file) * parameters (e.g. 1) * effects (e.g. none) There may be * examples * comments LOP says that a function signature (ThelopNameSignature, NameSignature) should be identical to the combined signatures of the words from which the function name is built. This is called consistency (LopConsistency, ThelopConsistency). ---- I sometimes call it WalkYourTalk. -- HelmutLeitner ---- This means that * Any parameter of a function (or method) must have some kind of representation in the function name. * There must be no activity of a function that can't be derived from the meaning of the constructing words (the meaning of its name). ---- See also: LanguageOrientedProgramming ---- CategoryThelop
