Glossary term: EntityType

/glossary/entitytype/

Domain: UBOS Mesh

The type of a MeshObject, similarly to how in programming, there are data types for variables, or classes for objects.

Unlike in programming a MeshObject can be blessed with more than one EntityType, and it can change its type(s) over its lifetime, by repeatedly blessing and unblessing.

This is similarly to how a URL on the web might refer to a HTML page one day, and a PDF document the next.
