Zusammenfassung:The late C S E Phillips' unfinished paper is presented. The sequential mode of thinking that underpins conventional programming is cited as being unnecessary, over-complicated and impractical for all but the most trivial of problems.

Such a machine is easier to design and easier to prove correct than its sequential counterpart. Great Britain.
