The big schema

2026-09-12

Every anatomical part of a scenario on one canvas: the trigger with its clock, modules, bundles on the lines, a filter, a router with ordered routes, the dotted error-handler route, and connections. Nine later figures in this book zoom into pieces of this drawing.

Below: the paragraph from the book that builds this idea, then the diagram itself (Figure 2.1), and a recap. About a minute of reading.

So we start with the full picture. Figure 2.1 shows one annotated scenario containing every anatomical part you will meet in this book: the trigger with its schedule clock, ordinary modules, bundles riding the connection lines, a filter, a router with ordered routes, a dotted error-handler route, and the connections that log the modules into your apps. Around the canvas sits the execution cycle, the loop that runs the whole drawing. Study it slowly; the rest of the chapter walks through it part by part, and the figures in chapters 3 to 10 and 13 are zooms into corners of this exact drawing.
