We want to define an abstract notion of tree with pointers, described as a set of branches, or positions.
Starting with cell 1, a sequence of cells appears by following the pointers.
Overwriting a minimal number of pointers ensures that the time behavior of the algorithm remains tractable, but adds to the complexity of programming.
The remainder of the object is called the payload, and may consist of a mixture of pointers and non-pointers.
They treat a programming language with multiple assignment, (recursive) first-order procedures and pointers.
An efficient implementation of unification relies on representing variables as pointers to terms.
Our syntax admits stores and configurations that include dangling pointers and unbound variables.
The article concludes by discussing some pointers raised by the exchange for furthering the agent-structure debate.
