Vital Definitions

Not all definitions are equal. The RIDDL language considers some definitions to be more important than others, and we call these “vital definitions”. You can recognize a vital definition because they all have
Examples somewhere in their definitional hierarchy. Vital definitions are also the only ones permitted to reference an Author.

These are the vital definitions:

• Adaptors,
• Applications,
• Contexts,
• Domains,
• Functions,
• Entities,
• Plants,
• Processors,
• Projections,
• Repositories
• Sagas, and
• Epic.
