ThePlace

A place is the possibility to store something. That's what my dictionary says. It's the same here:the possibility to store information. (In particular a location in STM to hold an object aka agent aka continuation. TODO move: a gentle intro to continuations for C programmers elsewhere It should be noted that one should not think about that place as some media. Media is used to store plain data. Information, in contrast, is stored in the InformationSpace, which is a conceptual (or virtual) space. Example: "The presentation (or projection) of a place in the address space of the server is implemented in place.scm."
