Inputs and Overrides

Inputs and overrides are passed when creating a process.

API

Input(target_algo, :name => value, ...)
Override(target_algo, :name => value, ...)

Targets are resolved through the composed algorithm registry.

When They Apply

initcontext applies them in this order:

1. Inputs merged first.
2. init(...) executes.
3. Overrides merged after init.

So:

• Input is for values needed during initialization.
• Override force-replaces initialized values.

Example

algo = CompositeAlgorithm(Walker, InsertNoise, (1, 2))

p = Process(
    algo,
    Input(Walker, :dt => 0.01),
    Override(InsertNoise, :seed => 1234),
    lifetime = 100,
)

Targeting and Identity

When choosing targets, use the same references you used in composition.
