<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Eventual''' is one of the three primary [[reference state]]s, along with [[near reference|near]] and [[broken reference|broken]]. An eventual reference is one on which the [[eventual send]] operation can be used, but not the [[immediate call]].<br />
<br />
If an eventual reference is [[resolved]], then it is known as a [[far reference]]; otherwise it is a [[promise]].<br />
<br />
A typical eventual reference is either a [[promise]] or to an object which is not in the same [[vat]] (or perhaps even thread, process, or computer) as the holder of the reference.<br />
