Probably not and you will use some lame excuse for not answering. The finite string of x86 machine code pointed to by P *is not an executing process* It is the equivalent of of a machine description that completely specifies (not merely describes) behavior. -- Copyright 2025 Olcott "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see."
