 The **Slot Access and Modification Protocol** consists of operations which allow trapping both access and modification to slots. These operations are further refined based on whether they transitively search the dynamic or lexical parent chain. For instance, for the lookup of a variable, ''lookup'' traverses the lexical chain whereas ''select'' (which requires an additional receiver parameter) traverses the dynamic parent chain.
-The **Structural Access Protocol** consists of operations used list all available slots, get access to a first-class slot representation and to add new slots to an existing object. The ''listSlots'' meta-method used in previous examples is an element of this protocol.

 The **Instantiation Protocol** consists of the ''clone'' and ''newInstance'' methods, which are implictly called when using base-level code of the form ''clone: object'' and ''object.new(@args)'' respectively. In the default implementation, ''newInstance'' calls ''clone()'' to create a clone of the current object, and subsequently invokes the base-level ''init'' method with the supplied arguments on the cloned object.
