A methodology for developing scalable systems based on a technique for the composition of objects to form a larger, composite object using Interface Cycles, which are canonical programs, hardware, or abstractions which interlock protection, distribution, and coordination of data and control from the objects. The methodology thus allows the interconnected objects to form the new composite object which is subject to the same principles as the underlying objects and which may then used in any stage of the life cycle of a system. An Interface Cycle transitions through discrete phases only by agreement of all object interfaces connected by the Interface Cycle. Protection and data distribution of composite data collected from all the objects are effected under control of the Interface Cycle.

A method for the operation of a computer-based system composed of two distributed objects each having an interface, the objects being programs, hardware, or canonical representations of such programs or hardware, the method comprising the steps of interconnecting each interface, and coordinating the connected interfaces in self-synchronized cycles through the interfaces by advancing to the next cycle from the present cycle only upon mutual agreement by the objects to thereby engender the self-synchronization between the objects.
