Milners fickle() in pi-WAM [For fun and profit] (Re: pi in pi-WAM refers to pi-calculus (Re: Introduction to AI Accelerator Prolog [π-WAM of Dogelog])

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

Milners fickle() is here:

Functions as processes
https://inria.hal.science/inria-00075405

After Theorem 7.7:

So in P we construct a fickle ‘function’ which
behaves differently on successive calls.

Here is a pi-WAM run in Dogelog Player, using the emulator:

Dogelog Spieler 2.2.4, Oracle Corporation, Java 26.0.1
(c) 1985-2026, XLOG Technologies AG, Schweiz
?- ensure_loaded(library(edge/brainfog)).
true.
?- emulate((between(1,2,Y),in(X),out(Y))).
: 0
1
: 0
2
fail.

The emulator is portable, can be run every Prolog
system. But it is only 1 process. So its better
to use the n process backends for CPU or GPU.

Which are less portable, not anymore pure Prolog,
a great deal of thread start and join infrastructure
as well, and a native Hack VM.

The comms across process is not yet implemented.
But the in/1 and out/1 instructions are already
there. But they currently go to stdin/stdout.

Bye
