≈ means Goals, Constraints are preserved.
What services, logic would satisfy goal(s)? Work backwards.
Prefer steps that correspond to old process
Each step should be
sound
(may need new definition)
Sufficiently
complete
Interactive

messages are an epiphenomenon.
Recovery from failure? Undo commitment?
Loops? Homestasis processes?
