Prosa Behavior Specification

This module defines the Prosa trace-based semantics. The following rules/guidelines apply to this module:

  • Files in this module must be largely self-contained and may depend only on "helper" definitions in rt.util. In particular, nothing in here may depend on concepts in the model or analysis modules.

  • This module is purely a specification of semantics. There are no proofs.

  • This behavior specification strives to be (almost) minimal. If a concept doesn't have to be defined here, if it is not required to state the basic trace semantics, then it should be introduced elsewhere.

  • The behavior specification is the universally agreed-upon foundation of Prosa. Everyone uses this; there are no alternatives to the basic definitions introduced here.

  • If there are multiple competing sets of assumptions in the literature, then that's a sure sign that it should go into the model or analysis modules.

  • Changes here are extremely sensitive precisely because this is the part of the library that everyone is going to use, so significant changes here should be discussed early and extensively.
