&lt;p>This chapter dives into how domain objects live — from their creation through state changes to eventual retirement. I found several parts particularly insightful.&lt;/p>
&lt;blockquote>
&lt;p>&amp;ldquo;An AGGREGATE is a cluster of associated objects that we treat as a unit for the purpose of data changes.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p>
&lt;/blockquote>
&lt;p>I love how this encapsulates not just grouping, but transactional consistency too. It&amp;rsquo;s not about objects sitting together, it&amp;rsquo;s about managing invariants collectively.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
