  /**
   * execution plan for pulling a specific exit node.
   * Usable as blue print for generating actual render jobs.
   * Job tickets are created on demand, specialised for each segment
   * of the low-level model, and for each individual feed (corresponding
   * to a single model port). Once created, they are final for this segment,
   * stored together with the other descriptor objects (ProcNode and WiringDescriptor)
   * and finally discarded in bulk, in case that segment of the low-level model becomes
   * obsolete and is replaced by a newly built new version of this model segment.
   * 
   * Job tickets are created by a classical recursive descent call on the exit node,
   * which figures out everything to be done for generating data from this node.
   * To turn a JobTicket into an actual job, we need the additional information
   * regarding the precise frame number (=nominal time) and the channel number
   * to calculate (in case the actual feed is multichannel, which is the default).
   * This way, the JobTicket acts as <i>higher order function:</i> a function
   * generating on invocation another, specific function (= the job).
   * 
   * @todo 1/12 WIP-WIP-WIP defining the invocation sequence and render jobs
