Context

Rolons are organized in a loose tree structure called a bush. There is a single root Rolon, the Ark Rolon, and Rolons can have multiple child Rolons and multiple parent Rolons.

The basic context of a Rolon consists of itself, it's children and the context of its parents, recursively. The Ark Rolon then is included in the context of every Rolon, since it is the ancestor of all Rolons. You could call this the heirarchical context.

Heirarchical context is good enough most of the time but when it is not, the context of a rolon can be extended with the ApplicativeContext relation. For example, if Rolon A is connected to Rolon B with an ApplicativeContext relation, then the context of Rolon B is included in the context of Rolon A. Further, since the context of Rolon A is included in the context of it's child Rolons, then the context of Rolon B is also included in the context of Rolon A's child Rolons.

Generally the smaller the context of a Rolon, the better--large flat Wiki's demonstrate this all too well. So the ApplicativeContext relation should be used sparingly.
