the π-calculus

The π-calculus is a mathematical framework used to model and study interactions between different processes in computer science and systems biology. It focuses on how these processes communicate and change, emphasizing the ability to create and modify connections dynamically, much like how people can form new relationships. By representing actions and communications as "channels," π-calculus helps researchers understand complex systems, analyze their behaviors, and design efficient algorithms. It is particularly valuable for systems where components must interact in flexible and evolving ways.
