Hi,

You can also deduce that I need comms,
from pi in pi-WAM, since pi refers to pi-calculus.
There is also a nice paper, that I have already posted:

A pi-calculus Specification of Prolog
https://scispace.com/pdf/a-pi-calculus-specification-of-prolog-3qf2pf04ud.pdf

You asked yourself why no atomic and
only comms? So its as simple as 1+1=2.
But usenet people are usually slow as fuck.

Take your time. You could spin loop to ingest
the topic, i.e. try again in 3-4 months, for
example reading some of the paper. Although

I know thats a totally unrealistic request, asking
a troll to do RTFM and study something. They
rather make themselves a total laughing stock,

play stupid games, win usenet prizes.

Bye
