> Do you know if there is a formal term for this kind of dependency chain and update order scheduling is called? ECS might make this an independent-enough concern that techniques from build systems would be applicable. See "Build systems a la carte" [0], for instance, which captures the (an?) essence of build systems as managing a graph of dependent dataflow processes. (In ECS, the dataflow would be mediated by the database of component tables, just as in Make the dataflow is mediated by the filesystem.)
