subtype


In Deriscope terminology, a
Deriscope Type B is called a subtype of a type A if B is contained in A, in the following sense:
Every object of B is also an object of A, but not vice-versa.

It follows that then A is a
container of B

As an example, the following three statements hold:
1) The type
Bond is a subtype of the type Tradable
2) The type
Zero Bond is also a subtype of the type Tradable
but
3) The type
Tradable is not a subtype of the type Tradable
