Curious as to choice of 'demands' vs 'dependency' and 'supplies' vs 'provider'. The latter of these are fairly commonly understood and used.

As an aside, "complex, interdependent state" is possibly one of the few areas that lend themselves naturally to visual programming (which is a fail in the general programming case). Why not just draw graphs?

> I've read plenty of reactive blog posts and reactive library documentation sets and they all struggle with communicating the benefits.

I just googled 'visual programming for reactive systems' and this (interesting project) turned up:

https://openmusic-project.github.io/openmusic/doc/reactive.h...

So the approach is specifically addressing complex interaction patterns between components. To highlight the solution, just do what these guys did: here you can see the benefit of 'reactive components' just by looking.

(2c - good luck w/ the project)
