3Continuation-passing style — In functional programming, continuation passing style (CPS) is a style of programming in which control is passed explicitly in the form of a continuation. Gerald Jay Sussman and Guy L. Steele, Jr. coined the phrase in AI Memo 349 (1975), which… …
4Message passing — This article is about the computer science concept. For other uses, see Message passing (disambiguation). Message passing in computer science is a form of communication used in parallel computing, object oriented programming, and interprocess… …
5Sticky bead argument — In general relativity, the sticky bead argument is a simple thought experiment designed to show that gravitational radiation is indeed predicted by general relativity, and can have physical effects. These claims were not widely accepted prior to… …
6Rietdijk-Putnam argument — If special relativity is true, then each observer will have their own plane of simultaneity , which contains a unique set of events that constitutes the observer s present moment. Observers moving at different relative velocities have different… …

8continuation-passing style — noun A style of programming in which every user function f takes an extra argument c known as a continuation. Whenever f would normally return a result r to its caller, it instead returns the result of applying the continuation to r …
9Continuation — For other uses, see Continuation (disambiguation). In computer science and programming, a continuation is an abstract representation of the control state of a computer program. A continuation reifies the program control state, i.e. the… …
10Parameter (computer science) — In computer programming, a parameter is a variable which takes on the meaning of a corresponding argument passed in a call to a subroutine. In the most common case, call by value, a parameter acts within the subroutine as a local (isolated) copy… …
