Dear Raphael,
The constructs "or", "dis", etc. are abstractions. The real primitive operation is "choice". For the book it was chosen to focus on the primitive operation instead of discussing Mozart-specific abstractions.

Sorry, this response is confusing for me. Why are 'or', 'dis' (and perhaps also 'cond', 'not' and Combinator.'reify' ?) abstractions of the primitive 'choice'? Can these abstractions be defined in terms of 'choice'?

Sorry about the confusion. 'or', 'cond', and 'not' are defined in terms of computation spaces, but those don't use 'choice'. However, 'dis' is defined in terms of 'choice'.

Cheers,
raph
