This is also my understanding.
These terms are cumbersome. In KeyKOS and EROS, the terms were:
builder - the process that inserts the initial capabilities
into the constructor and then seals the constructor
requester - the process that asks the constructor to
instantiate a new process
I *think* that these are operationally the same as Marcus's terms:
creator => builder
instantiator => requester
they have the advantage that they describe the roles more accurately
**assuming** that you are using the constructor concept. I am not
convinced that they describe the roles for Marcus's design at all.
Mostly, I wanted to introduce them in case I screw up and use them by
accident -- I do not remember to transcode terminology with 100%
accuracy.
