## Store Object

A Nix store is a collection of *store objects* with *references* between them.
A store object consists of

  - A [file system object](./file-system-object.md) as data
  - A set of [store paths](./store-path.md) as references to other store objects

Store objects are [immutable](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immutable_object):
Once created, they do not change until they are deleted.
document store objects in terms of their constituent parts this also rephrases the introductory sentence to be more general, in order to avoid the same word being repeated in short succession. 2023-10-25 05:50:43 +03:00			`## Store Object`

document store paths update the glossary to point to the new page. since this is a cross-cutting concern, it warrants its own section in the manual.
