  Closure (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Closures are typically implemented with a special data structure that contains a pointer to the function code, plus a representation of the function's lexical environment (i.e., the set of available variables and their values) at the time when the function was created.
Closures are closely related to Actors in the Actor model of concurrent computation where the values in the function's lexical environment are called acquaintances.
Closures typically appear in languages that allow functions to be first-class values—in other words, such languages allow functions to be passed as arguments, returned from function calls, bound to variable names, etc., just like simpler types such as strings and integers.

I describe closure associations with reputation stability and network decay in a study population of bankers and analysts, drawing three conclusions: First, reputation stability is contingent on closure, increasing from completely unstable to stable in the span of a few mutual contacts.
Closure is associated with more positive relations and relations are more robust to decay when embedded in closed networks.
In sum, closure creates an endogenous force that secures and expands the boundary around a network, stabilizing new relations to be self-sustaining, and doing so even for people only indirectly connected at the periphery of the network.
