 * Holodeck programs consist of individual holographic elements with specific associated programs
 ** As with most computer programs in 24th century era, such programs consist of individual devoted black-box subroutines serving as independent components interconnected to one another as needed
 * For protection of occupants, safety subroutines prevent or avert potentially dangerous circumstances
 ** Objects identified as holding risk of injury are converted to holomatter, left immaterial when interacting with occupants (S31 Novel: ''Abyss'')
