- The idea and terminology was introduced in "Efficient Implementation of a
- Defensible Semantics for Dynamic Prolog Code", by Richard O'Keefe and I,
- in the Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Logic
- Programming, published by the MIT Press. The presentation in that paper
- motivates the idea and develops the implementation from a "vanilla" WAM.
- It should be accessible to anyone who knows how a WAM works.
