As a quick addendum: the term 'non-deterministic' has been bandied about in
this thread, when the (longer!) term 'sequentially non-deterministic' might
have been clearer. Alternatively, the term 'unsequenced' could be used
(although it is usually used only in the context of parallel processing, I
don't see why not).
None of the constructs being discussed are actually non-deterministic (in
the conventional sense): this is a very esoteric branch of computing indeed!
(Related to natural learning systems, for the curious.) (Oh, and lottery
machines!)
