%X A new prioritised alternation programming construct and CSP
   operator have previously been suggested by the author to
   express behaviour that arises with machine\-level
   prioritised vectored interruption. The semantics of each is
   considered, though that of prioritisation is deferred given
   the current lack of consensus regarding a suitable domain.
   Defining axioms for the operator are tentatively proposed,
   along with possible laws regarding behaviour. Lastly, the
   issue of controlled termination of component and construct
   is explored. This is intended as only a first step towards a
   complete semantics.
