This concept elucidates the abstract mechanism of object instantiation via iterative protocol invocation, where a constructor function accepts and processes any object yielding an iterable sequence to generate a contiguous ordered collection of elements. The core principle defines the contract between the `__iter__` (or equivalent) protocol and the factory function, establishing that the resulting structure maintains positional indexing and distinct element identity regardless of the source iterator's internal logic. Situated within the theoretical domain of formal computer science and data structure theory, this rule governs the transformation of generic stream-like data into static, indexable arrays, serving as a fundamental prerequisite for subsequent operations requiring random access or element enumeration.
