Abstract
Describes the mechanisms in the Synthesis kernel to compose quajects, kernel objects that encapsulate state and operations. An example using ByteQueue quaject is used to illustrate the composition mechanism. This composition produces quajects with very low overhead, contributing significantly to high performance in the Synthesis kernel
