Consider (Combined Fragment)
A consider interaction operator (signified by the value of consider) defines a combined fragment where the messages listed are to be considered within the fragment. The messages defined as part of the operator are drawn in the fragment.
Explanation
The consider operator defines a list of messages that are considered significant within the combined fragment. These messages have importance in the model and must be considered.
A combined fragment with an operator of ignore is related to a combined fragment with an operator of consider because they reflect a reciprocal notion. Defining messages within a consider operator is affectively the same as saying that all other messages should be ignored.
