Following an invocation of fork, the parent process is provided with a
nonzero identifier for the child process and the child process is
provided with the zero identifier. This enables processes to determine
their respective roles in the parent-child relationship, e.g.

In our system, we can model fork as an effectful operation, that
returns a boolean to indicate the process role; where by convention we
will interpret the return value $\True$ to mean that the process
assumes the role of parent.

Thus, operationally, we may understand fork as returning twice. We can
implement this behaviour by invoking the resumption arising from an
invocation of $\Fork$ twice: first with $\True$ to continue the parent
process, and subsequently with $\False$ to continue the child process
(or the other way around if we feel inclined).
