Abstract
Our theory of distributed processes, as it was presented in the previous chapters, is afirst order theory: We can define states and state changes, but we cannot definechanges of state changes. For this purpose, ahigher order theory is required.
Beauty is the first test; there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics.
