Membrane Tech:

  Authentication.

  Authorization

  Vesels (containers for action)

  Contextual vs. Functional Membranes

  Membranes thus define spaces/boundaries, and then also manage them.

  Examples-

      contextual membrane: "people who support Obama" (this is like a search).

      functional membrane: member of the democratic party (i.e. token that you can vote)
