+You can easily operate on your chain via a [[cpp>language/lambda|C++ lambda]] and this is how you do it:
 <code cpp>
 Chain->Operate([](FMyTrait Trait)

 });

+==== Direct Mechanism Operating ====
+The Operating simplification goes as far as actually Operating on a Mechanism directly, like so:<code cpp>
+Mechanism->Operate([](FGlowing Glowing, FHelmet Helmet)
+{
+    ...
+});
+</code>
+This way the [[en:toolworks:docs:apparatus:filter|Filtering]] and the [[en:toolworks:docs:apparatus:enchaining|Enchaining]] is done automatically under the hood, deriving the necessary Components from the lambda arguments.
+You can of course supply the Filter specification explicitly, overriding it.
+So for example, if you want to specify an additional [[en:toolworks:docs:apparatus:trait|Trait]] and a [[en:toolworks:docs:apparatus:flag|Flagmark]] condition, do it like so:<code cpp>
+Mechanism->Operate(FFilter::Make<FGlowing, FHelmet, FHero>(FM_Z), [](FGlowing Glowing, FHelmet Helmet)
+{
+    ...
+});
+</code>
+The direct Operating mode is smart enough to deduce the type of the Chain used within the Operating process, so if you specify a reference to a Trait and/or a Solid Subject handle in your arguments list, the technique will essentially produce a [[en:toolworks:docs:apparatus:solidity|Solid]] iterating:<code cpp>
+Mechanism->Operate([](FSolidSubjectHandle Subject, FGlowing& Glowing, FHelmet& Helmet)
+{
+    ...
+});
+</code>
+You can still specify the Chain type explicitly as a first template argument to a method:<code cpp>
+Mechanism->Operate<FSolidChain>([](FGlowing Glowing, FHelmet Helmet)
+{
+    // You logic within Solid semantics:
+    ...
+});
+</code>
+Concurrency variants are also provided by the direct interface:<code cpp>
+Mechanism->OperateConcurrently([](FSolidSubjectHandle Subject, FGlowing& Glowing, FHelmet& Helmet)
+{
+    ...
+}, /*Maximum number of threads=*/4, /*Minimum number of Subjects=*/16);
