Roger,

I thought that might come up, the idea that I missed pushed = {}. Since
this is describing an initialization section for the system, would pushed =
{} need to be a precondition? What I mean is is that when the subset pushed
is created or generated, the system may very well fill it with garbage, but
when the system initializes pushed must be set to the empty set. Does this
then still need to be a precondition or does this become just a by product
I have to prove of showing the preconditions of the init operation?

Thanks,
Jon
