clarification: SturdyRefs aren't eventual refs

New page

A [[live ref]] is an [[eventual ref]] into another [[vat]] — a reference to a [[remote object]]. Live refs last only as long as the two vats are running and in communication; they become [[broken ref]]s afterward.

All live refs arrive either by being passed over another live ref ([[argument]] or [[return value|return]]) or as the result of [[SturdyRef#getRcvr/0| dereferencing a SturdyRef]].

References to remote objects are either live refs, [[SturdyRef]]s, or not part of [[Pluribus]].
