Abstract
This paper presents some "laws" that must be satisfied by computations involving communicating parallel processes. The laws take the form of stating restrictions on the histories of computations that are physically realizable. The laws are intended to characterize aspects of parallel computations that are independent of the number of physical processors that are used in the computation.
