inputs

• AOs - [as list] AssemblyObjects Set (AOSet)
• Hc - [as list] (optional) Handle Compatibility rules (see notes)

outputs

• HeS - [as list] the Heuristics String of generated rules

options

• no self AO - prevents an AssemblyObject kind from connecting with itself
• no self Handle - prevents an Handle from connecting with itself
• allow cross-Handle type - each Handle becomes universally compatible (types don’t matter anymore)

notes

Handle Compatibility

Specific compatibility can be indicated using a Handle Compatibility string list. Handle compatibility establishes one-direction relations and overrides the default Handle same-type compatibility as well as the “no self Handle” and “cross-Handle type” (if activated).

The syntax is, for example:

1<2

The example above reads as: “(Handles of) type 1 can receive (Handles of) type 2” (the symbol < is used with the same meaning it has in the rules). This relation is one-directional, meaning that if we want to make type 1 and 2 fully compatible with each other we need to explicit the backward relation as well:

1<2
2<1

“type 1 can receive type 2 and type 2 can receive type 1”

Multi-type compatibility can be implemented:

1<2
2<1
1<3
1<4
