Facet Instantiation is a Delegated Facet Instantiation or Local Facet Instantiation

For a Multiple Create Action, a new instance is created for each Facet in a specified Lineage. This is the case both for local (synchronous) and delegated (asynchronous) create actions.

Additional policies for each Facet Instantiation vary depending on the creation mechanism. For example, a Local Facet Instantiation may specify an initial state and may be returned as an output of the action whereas a Delegated Facet Instantiation may be the recipient of an initial event.
