View In Hierarchy

per*spec*tive, n. : The relationship of aspects of a subject to each other and to a whole: 'a perspective of history'; 'a need to view the problem in the proper perspective'.

This is a Perspective Broker-specific wrapper for an avatar. That is to say, a PB-published view on to the business logic for the system's concept of a 'user'.

The concept of attached/detached is no longer implemented by the framework. The realm is expected to implement such semantics if needed.
