Event structure

In mathematics and computer science, an event structure represents a set of events, some of which can only be performed after another (there is a dependency between the events) and some of which might not be performed together (there is a conflict between the events).

Formal definition

An event structure consists of

  • a set of events
  • a partial order relation on called causal dependency,
  • an irreflexive symmetric relation called incompatibility (or conflict)

such that

  • finite causes: for every event , the set of predecessors of in is finite
  • hereditary conflict: for every events , if and then .
gollark: It's just not optimized for GUI management, and haven't you yourself complained about Wine being bad?
gollark: Well, it's much more stable, you can manage it with a GUI, all your favourite Windows programs run on it, it has good things like IIS, etc.
gollark: Well, not not doing that.
gollark: That is your fault. Try not doing that.
