You can think a MobileThread as a visual Tab in any web browser. It is posible to visualize and manipulate different things (in parallel).
A thread defines a point of view of the system and let the user select the tools to access model objects.
The user can select a thread to access the system and perform works on objects using a set of tools available/shown by the thread on screen.

The lifetime of a thread use to be the same of the application (a thread can be added/removed to/from application dynamically, but it is not recommended because the user will be disappointed if he/she can't find the thread at a time using the application).

A thread has a set of coordinators to offer the user the best set of tools to handle model/domain objects in different contexts of application.
A thread instance define the coordinator to be presented at application startup and switch coordinators to let the user have the best experience & tools to handle model objects at any time.

A thread instance has an image and a name, used to set UI buttons on screen (to let the user activate thread of interest).
