formal: ???\n    - in words: ???\n  - intuition: ???\n  - properties:\n    - learning order:\n      - concepts and techniques\n      - algorithms and data structures\n      - program design and software engineering\n\n    - practitioners:\n      - general users: by changing the setting of an alarm\n      - expert users: by writing new features for the system or updating existing\n\n  - examples:\n    - extending a system's functionality:\n      - writing a new application for iOS\n    - changing a system's functionality:\n      - moving iOS from using 4 digits to 7 digits passwords\n  - use cases: ???\n      \n  - proof: ???\n\n- def computation model(Haridi and Van Roy, 2004:xiii):\n    - formal: ???\n\n        - in words: formal system, that defines how computations are done\n\n  - plain english: ???\n\n  - intuition: ???\n\n  - properties:\n    - based on a simple core language called its kernel language (Haridi and Van Roy, 2004:xiv)\n      - def kernel language: TBD\n    - defined in terms of (Haridi and Van Roy, 2004:xiii):\n      - data types\n      - operations\n      - a programming language\n\n      **NB** there are other ways to define computation models: - finite automata (Sipser, 2012:xvii)\n\n    - provides:\n      - a programming model:\n        - def programming model: a set of programming techniques and design principles\n          used to write programs\n          in the language of the computation model (Haridi and Van Roy, 2004:29).\n          - def programming techniques: TBD\n          - def design principles: TBD\n      - set of techniques for:\n        - reasoning about programs\n\n  - examples: ???\n\n  - use cases: ???\n      \n  - proof: ???\n\n- def creative extension principle: main criterion for when and which concept to add to a computation mode/kernel language (Haridi and Van Roy, 2004:xiv)\n\n- def technology(Haridi and Van Roy, 2004:xiii): a tool or concept that enables us to do something.\n\n- def λ calculus:\n\n- def π calculus:\n\n- def abstractions:\n\n## Dependencies\n- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/)\n- [Mozart2](http://mozart2.org)\n\n## Setup Instructions\n- The repository is configured to use [devcontainers](https://containers.dev) for development.\n    -
