Language Support for Office Modelling

Summary: A language for conceptual office-system modeling, treating procedures as typed constructors that assemble composite office objects from selected components. Generalizes record-model primitives to recursive structures, supporting heterogeneous, highly related, nonformatted data and concurrent office tasks. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
