  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. I introduce some familiar algebraic laws governing the operators of sequential and concurrent composition of designs. They can be combined with the familiar operators of propositional calculus. The resulting logic seems to apply equally to hardware design and to software design; and perhaps also to the planning of other designs and plans for behaviour that evolves in space and time.
