# A {Tie} is a link between two {Actor Actors}, # and therefore, two {SocialStream::Models::Subject Subjects}. # # It is made up with a {Contact} and a {Relation}. The {Contact} defines the sender # or {Actor} that declares the link, and the receiver or {Actor} that is pointed by # the declaration. The {Relation} defines the type of link (friend, colleague, # {Relation::Reject}, etc) # = Authorization # When an {Actor} establishes a {Tie} with other, she is granting a set of # {Permission Permissions} to them (posting to her wall, reading her posts, etc..) # The set of {Permission Permissions} granted are associated with the {Relation} of # the {Tie}. # # = Scopes # There are several scopes defined: # # sent_by(actor):: ties whose sender is actor # received_by(actor):: ties whose receiver is actor # sent_or_received_by(actor):: the union of the former # related_by(relation):: ties with this relation.
