Activity Relationship

Exchange of implicit asset(s) by 2 activities, one activity using some asset generated by the other. A communication implies that activity a2 is dependent on another a1, by way of some unspecified asset that is generated by a1 and used by a2.
Thus, an activity can reference another one, showing a chain of derivations or dependencies between actions over time.
