Algebra of Systems[1] is a paper based on Koo's thesis[2].

A Concise Algebra for automating engineering tasks

This year 2009 paper summarized the following statement in the conclusion:

In Laws of programming[3], Hoare et al. questioned whether a small set of algebraic laws can be directly useful in a practical engineering design problem. The absence of a tool that can bridge the cognitive gap between mathematical abstractions and engineering problems may have been the main reason for their conservative attitude.

The above statement echos who Dana Scott[4] was saying in the 2018 Lambda Conference.

A lookup table as a enumerable function

He said in this lecture[5]:

If that lookup table is enumerable, that is a good definition of say that the enumeration operation is computable. ...
