That's fine, but you need a better definition of a domain and/or
operator. The original "OPES domain is the area of reponsibility of an
operator" does not imply the above explanation.
Also, since you leave domain boundaries for the operator to decide,
you need to explain how conflicts (two operators think they are
responsible for the same domain and instruct their processors to
update the trace accordingly) and misses (no operator claims
responsibility for a domain/processor).
I must go. But I think better anyway to proceed with a general
response and see what you objet as I do not understand your
question. So I suppose there is confusion to clarify.
Let stick to the Airline image. And let take the following analogy
(different of the one I took with Markus, but as good and clearer here).
A jet = processor
An airline = domain - area of responsibility of the ariline operator.
An alliance (or a tour or a travel I organize, etc.) = a system
Are all your questions answered or not?
If not where are you difficulties coming from?
The analogy or from not addressed conflicts?
