Quantitative Expressiveness of Instruction Sequence Classes for Computation on Single Bit Registers
Jan Aldert Bergstra · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2019
The number of instructions of an instruction sequence is taken for its logical SLOC, and is abbreviated with LLOC. A notion of quantitative expressiveness is based on LLOC and in the special case of operation over a family of single bit registers a collection of elementary properties are established. A dedicated notion of interface is developed and is used for stating relevant properties of classes of instruction sequences
