I can't leave it alone. My last posting has been niggling me since I posted it. If I don't clearly define this Client Device term, I feel as though a central piece of my concept becomes ambiguous, and my concept weakens.
My concept is clear. Although it has become clearer because I've given time to its implementation in a computer language, the concept has not changed substantially since I put it down in my prov January 2008.
Here's a clear definition: A Client Device describes properties about the device and the individual that controls it. The Client Device is a manifestation of any physical hardware device, software process, or any other concept that can be so expressed in Clique Space. The Client Device is hence, a realisation of a Clique Space entity as a compendium of Clique Space Elements. This notion is left intentionally philosophical because the concept quickly fractures when you try to explain a Client Device as a particular arrangement of Clique Space Elements; I think it's best to think of a Client Device as a holistic, though still discrete entity; instances of which can be expressed through different collections of Clique Space Elements.
Glad to have gotten that off my chest.
Hence, the Client Device is an explanatory convenience. The Client Device remains as relevant in explaining the concept today as it did when I had registered the prov in 2008.
