@ -20,7 +20,8 @@ The graph of references excluding self-references thus forms a [directed acyclic
[directed acyclic graph]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-directed-acyclic-graph
We can take the [transitive closure] of the references graph, which any pair of store objects have an edge not if there is a single reference from the first to the second, but a path of one or more references from the first to the second.
We can take the [transitive closure] of the references graph, in which any pair of store objects have an edge if a *path* of one or more references exists from the first to the second object.
(A single reference always forms a path which is one reference long, but longer paths may connect objects which have no direct reference between them.)
The *requisites* of a store object are all store objects reachable by paths of references which start with given store object's references.
