  abstract=      "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."
