Abstract
Tuomas Aura: Why do you need to model the medium separately, why not just merge Alice and the medium?
Reply: You could merge them. If you were doing this in the model checker, that’s certainly what you would do, because you increase the state space by having the medium done as a separate process, you’re right. When you’re doing it in PVS you don’t have the problem of increasing the state space, so it doesn’t really make a lot of difference whether you merge Alice with the medium or not. But yes, you could easily do that.
