I apologize for a very basic question, but I could not find where this is documented. If a paper or manual page describes this I would be happy to read it.

How, in general, does code in a Guix package find its dependency packages at run time?

Does it potentially work differently for each build system or is the same approach used for all packages?

Are absolute store paths of the dependencies saved at build time in environment variables or symbolic links or something that are accessible to the run time code?

If code in a package looks for dependencies using relative paths, are copies or links to the dependencies saved within the package? Or is that sort of duplication always avoided? Are relative paths converted to absolute store paths somehow?

Is the Guix daemon needed at run time to help packages find each other or is the information needed to resolve all of the dependencies saved into the package at build time?

Thanks!
