Scoped Propagators are interesting in part because of their ability to cross the boundaries of otherwise siloed systems and to do so without the use of an escape hatch — all additional behaviour happens in situ, in the same environment as the interface elements, not from editing source code.

Here is an example of a petri net (left box) which is being mapped to a chart primitive (right box). By merit of knowing some specifics of both systems, an author can create a mapping from one to the other without any explicit relationship existing prior to the creation of the propagator (here mapping the number of tokens in a box to the height of a rectangle in a chart)

This small game consists of nine relatively terse arrows, propagating between nodes of different types. Propagators were also used to build the game, as it was unclear if or how I could change an image source url until I used a propagator to inspect the internal state of the image and discovered the property to change.

This is also not the first application of propagators to infinite canvas environments, [Dennis Hansen](https://x.com/dennizor/status/1793389346881417323) built an implementation of propagator networks in tldraw, [Holograph](https://www.holograph.so), and motivated the use of the term "propagator" in this model.

## Open Questions
|

Many questions about this model have yet to be answered including questions of *function reuse*, modelling of *side-effects*, handling of *multi-input-multi-output* propagation (which is trivial in traditional propagator networks), and applications to other domains such as graph-databases.

|
||||
|
||||
This model has not yet been formalised, and while the propagators themselves can be simply expressed as a function $f(a,b) \mapsto b'$, I have not yet found an appropriate way to express *scopes* and the relationship between the two.
