In the literature it is a recurrent pattern that processes can be examined in two ways: one can combine component processes and examine the evolution of the resulting process. In this setting component processes may communicate with each other and the compound process may come to a rest without displaying external behavior. A single process can also be examined by placing it into a (usually not strictly specified) environment which is able to interact with the process.
