Hi Alan,
Thanks for the encouragement. After a little searching I found
"Naming and Synchronization in a Decentralized Computer System", D. P.
Reed, 1978 [1]. Is that the paper you had in mind? It looks
interesting, but I haven't had a chance to absorb it yet.
I'm glad to hear we're on the rig

Anyone ever hear of Doug Engelbart? Ever type his name into Google? Ever looked
to see how the code and documentation for his system was organized?
Cheers,

Can you provide an end-to-end exemplary situation in Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) software where FONC ideas are relevant? You sort of jumped
off that stream of thought and onto modeling sine waves graphically, etc.

First of all. Thanks for the explanation about the thinking wrt the TCP/IP

Murat,
If you are interested in executable specifications in the tradition of Maude
and CafeOBJ and looking for underexplored ideas from Academia, you need to
retreat back to the late 1970s and through the1980s and "proof of
specification" theories proposed by Goguen, but also by Chandy. The

If I took the time to write an "idea memo", would you (and possibly others)

The ASCII-art is not what is important. The table is effectively loaded

Hi,
When reading about the TCP/IP implementation in OMeta it strikes me that
parsing the ASCII-art is still text. Isn't it kind of silly to spend all
that syntax on representing something as fundamental as a table?
So I was wondering, have you, at vpri, been contemplating alternative

More proof of concept.
One of the points here is to go far beyond the almost 40 year old Smalltalk,
not to re-embrace it.

Hi Jakob,
I'm always interested in Carl's ideas (he's one of the few in our field that
really has unusual and interesting slants on computation).
The whole point of the OMeta in JS embedding is that both JS syntax and
