The Structure of Context

Eight types of structures of context for Attachance
Last year I combined Attach and Chance and coined a new term Attachance. I am working on developing the Attachance idea.
The below is eight diagrams for discussing structure of context for Attachance.
Other as Context
a is an entity, b is another one entity. This structure means Other as Context. a a attaches to b, b detaches from a.
Network as Context
a is an entity. A is a network, B is another network. This structure means a detaches from network A and attaches to network B.
Reference:
- The emergence of organizations and markets (John F. Padgett, 2012. p.12)
Padgett used Network Folding to describe the novelty-making processes and identified eight network folding mechanisms.
Whole as Context
A is a whole, a is a part of the A. This structure means a detaches from A.
Circuit as Context
A is a Circuit, a is an entity and part of the A. This structure means a detaches from A.
Container as Context
a is an entity and B is a container. This structure means a attaches to B and detaches from B.
Chain as Context
a is an entity and A, B, C, D, E are events and form a chain. a is at the end of an event and the beginning of the next event.
Levels as Context
a is an entity and A, B, C are levels. This structure shows a detaches from A and attaches to B.
Dimensions as Context
a is an entity and A, B, C are dimensions. This structure shows a detaches from A and attaches to B.
