Following an invocation of fork, the parent process is provided with a

nonzero identifier for the child process and the child process is

In our system, we can model fork as an effectful operation, that

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
