But, if the slicing is made by means of iota, there is no (at

How is this dependency expressed with slices?
By using the single source of slicing, which is the void* or a
pre-instantiated iota with the maximum number.
I'm ready to admit, that the process will work with independent
slicing... In this case, I can omit my void* at all. So, the
objects,
which make slices, don't do this from some object, they do
this just by
calling iota. But this is little bit contra intuitive, as I
imply a
relationship between the sliced parts.
I'm not sure if I understand.
Is the object the void pointer of the slice? If so, you start
the slicing from a null pointer, right? There is no real
relationship or dependency between the slices then.
Or is the object some class/struct instance that creates a
slice? If so, how does it leave a reference to itself in the
slice?
Here, I'm not sure if I understand the question.
The relation is: some object A contains the pointer/iota/(if at
all)
some object B makes slices of the thing, which is in A.
