I remember watching a documentary about Albert Einstain on the Science Channel where they talked about how he would daydream (dream?) about riding along on light beams. Certainly, I don't want to compare myself to Einstein, but in a very real sense, what we've been talking about is the nature of time in computation and (drum roll) the relativity of time and space. In a very real sense, I think the procedural model is very much like Newtonian world view in which time (or, in our case, the program counter, is privileged). === Gregory Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Interaction is the mind-body problem of computing." --Philip Wadler ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
