559 ;;Quote: a message system defines a partial order of events; send event is before its receive event
559 ;;Quote: two events are concurrent if neither happened before the other; can not effect each other
560 ;;Quote: implement time by a timestamp on each message; receiver advances its process time to be later than the timestamp
