# Entanglement
Entanglement is the process of moving, copying, and linking domain objects
in such a way that their relationships are impossible to discern.
This bundle provides move, copy, and link functionality. Achieving a state of
entanglement is left up to the end user.
## Services implement logic
Each method (move, copy, link) is implemented as a service, and each service
provides two functions: `validate` and `perform`.
`validate(object, parentCandidate)` returns true if the `object` can be
move/copy/linked into the `parentCandidate`'s composition.
`perform(object, parentObject)` move/copy/links the `object` into the
`parentObject`'s composition.
## Actions implement user interactions
Actions are used to expose move/copy/link to the user. They prompt for input
where necessary, and complete the actions.
