Command-response and stream interfaces
Sambin's approach to constructive topology has been a valuable guide
when devising models for interfaces between program components, where
one issues commands to which the other responds.
A prima-facie quite different style of model for program interaction
is based on Landin's idea of communication via lazy streams.
Yet these two approaches seem to share some structure, that I will
try to bring out.
