+# Execution flow
+
+Aqua's main goal is to express how the execution flows: moves from peer to peer, forks to parallel flows and then joins back, uses data from one step in another.
+
+As the foundation of Aqua is based on π-calculus, finally flow is decomposed into [sequential](sequential.md) \(`seq`, `.`\), [conditional](conditional.md) \(`xor`, `+`\), [parallel](parallel.md) \(`par`, `|`\) computations and [iterations](iterative.md) based on data \(`!P`\). For each basic way to organize the flow, Aqua follows a set of rules to execute the operations:
+
+* What data is available for use?
+* What data is exported and can be used below?
+* How errors and failures are handled?
+
+These rules form a contract, as in [design-by-contract](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_by_contract) programming.

+# Conditional
+
+Aqua supports branching: you can return one value or another, recover from the error, or check a boolean expression.
+
+### Contract
+
+The second arm of the conditional operator is executed iff the first arm failed.
+
+The second arm has no access to the first arm's data.
+
+A conditional block is considered executed iff any arm was executed successfully.
+
+A conditional block is considered failed iff the second \(recovery\) arm fails to execute.
+
+### Conditional operations
+
+#### try
+
+Tries to perform operations, or swallows the error \(if there's no catch, otherwise after the try block\).
+
+```text
+try:
+   -- If foo fails with an error, execution will continue
+   -- You should write your logic in a non-blocking fashion:
+   -- If your code below depends on `x`, it may halt as `x` is not resolved.
+   -- See Conditional return below for workaround
+   x <- foo()
+```
+
+#### catch
+
+Catches the standard error from `try` block.
+
+```text
+try:
+   foo()
+catch e:
+   logError(e)
+```
+
+Type of `e` is:
+
+```text
+data LastError:
+  instruction: string -- What AIR instruction failed
+  msg: string -- Human-readable error message
+  peer_id: string -- On what peer the error happened
+```
+
+#### if
+
+If corresponds to `match`, `mismatch` extension of π-calculus.
+
+```text
+x = true
+if x:
+  -- always executed
+  foo()
+  
+if x == false:
+  -- never executed
+  bar()
+  
+if x != false:
+  -- executed
+  baz()  
+```
+
+Currently, you may only use one `==`, `!=` operator in the `if` expression, or compare with true.
+
+Both operands can be variables.
+
+#### else
+
+Just the second branch of `if`, in case the condition does not hold.
+
+```text
+if true:
+  foo()
+else:
+  bar()  
+```
+
+If you want to set a variable based on condition, see Conditional return.
+
+#### otherwise
+
+You may add `otherwise` to provide recovery for any block or expression:
+
+```text
+x <- foo()
+otherwise:
+  -- if foo can't be executed, then do bar()
+  y <- bar()
+```
+
+### Conditional return
+
+In Aqua, functions may have only one return expression, which is very last. And conditional expressions cannot define the same variable:
+
+```text
+try:
+  x <- foo()
+otherwise:
+  x <- bar() -- Error: name x was already defined in scope, can't compile  
+```
+
+So to get the value based on condition, we need to use a [writeable collection](../types.md#collection-types).
+
+```text
+-- result may have 0 or more values of type string, and is writeable
+resultBox: *string
+try:
+  resultBox <- foo()
+otherwise:
+  resultBox <- bar()
+  
+-- now result contains only one value, let's extract it!
+result = resultBox!
+
+-- Type of result is string
+-- Please note that if there were no writes to resultBox, 
+-- the first use of result will halt.
+-- So you need to be careful about it and ensure that there's always a value.

+# Iterative
+
+π-calculus has a notion of repetitive process: `!P = P | !P`. That means, you can always fork a new `P` process if you need it.
+
+In Aqua, two operations corresponds to it: you can call a service function \(it's just available when it's needed\), and you can use `for` loop to iterate on collections.
+
+### For expression
+
+In short, `for` looks like the following:
+
+```text
+xs: []string
+
+for x <- xs:
+  y <- foo(x)
+  
+-- x and y are not accessible there, you can even redefine them
+x <- bar()
+y <- baz()  
+```
+
+### Contract
+
+Iterations of `for` loop are executed sequentially by default.
+
+Variables defined inside for loop are not available outside.
+
+For loop's code has access to all variables above.
+
+For can be executed on a variable of any [Collection type](../types.md#collection-types).
+
+### Conditional for
+
+You can make several trials in a loop, and break once any trial succeeded.
+
+```text
+xs: []string
+
+for x <- xs try:
+  -- Will stop trying once foo succeeds
+  foo(x)
+```
+
+Contract is changed as in [Parallel](parallel.md#contract) flow.
+
+### Parallel for
+
+Running many operations in parallel is the most commonly used pattern for `for`.
+
+```text
+xs: []string
+
+for x <- xs par:
+  on x:
+    foo()
+    
+-- Once the fastest x succeeds, execution continues
+-- If you want to make the subsequent execution independent from for,
+-- mark it with par, e.g.:
+par continueWithBaz()        
+```
+
+Contract is changed as in [Conditional](conditional.md#contract) flow.
+
+### Export data from for
+
+The way to export data from `for` is the same as in [Conditional return](conditional.md#conditional-return) and [Race patterns](parallel.md#join-behavior).
+
+```text
+xs: []string
+return: *string
+
+-- can be par, try, or nothing

+  on x:

+# Parallel
+
+Parallel execution is where everything becomes shiny.
+
+### Contract
+
+Parallel arms have no access to each other's data. Sync points must be explicit \(see Join behavior\).
+
+If any arm is executed successfully, the flow execution continues.
+
+All the data defined in parallel arms is available in the subsequent code.
+
+### Implementation limitation
+
+Parallel execution has some implementation limitations:
+
+* Parallel means independent execution on different peers
+* No parallelism when executing a script on a single peer \(fix planned\)
+* No concurrency in services: one service instance does only one job simultaneously. Keep services small \(wasm limitation\)
+
+We might overcome these limitations later, but for now, plan your application design having this in mind.
+
+### Parallel operations
+
+### par
+
+`par` syntax is derived from π-calculus notation of parallelism: `A | B`
+
+```text
+-- foo and bar will be executed in parallel, if possible
+foo()
+par bar()
+
+-- It's useful to combine `par` with `on` block,
+-- to delegate further execution to different peers.
+
+-- In this case execution will continue on two peers, independently
+on "peer 1":
+  x <- foo()
+par on "peer 2":
+  y <- bar()
+  
+-- Once any of the previous functions return x or y,
+-- execution continues. We don't know the order, so 
+-- if y is returned first, hello(x) will not execute  
+hello(x)
+hello(y)  
+
+-- You can fix it with par
+-- What's comes faster, will advance the execution flow
+hello(x)
+par hello(y)
+```
+
+`par` works in infix manner between the previously stated function and the next one.
+
+#### co
+
+`co` , short for `coroutine`, prefixes an operation to send it to background. From π-calculus perspective, it's the same as `A | null`, where `null`-process is the one that does nothing and completes instantly.
+
+```text
+-- Let's send foo to background and continue
+co foo()
+
+-- Do something on another peer, not blocking the flow on this one
+co on "some peer":
+  baz()
+  
+-- This foo does not wait for baz()  
+foo()  
+
+-- Assume that foo is executed on another machine
+co try:
+  x <- foo()
+-- bar will not wait for foo to be executed or even launched
+bar()
+-- bax will wait for foo to complete
+-- if foo failed, x will never resolve
+-- and bax will never execute
+bax(x)
+```
+
+### Join behavior
+
+Join means that data was created by different parallel execution flows and then used on a single peer to perform computations. It works the same way for any parallel blocks, be it `par`, `co` or something else \(`for par`\).
+
+In Aqua, you can refer to previously defined variables. In case of sequential computations, they are available, if execution not failed:
+
+```text
+-- Start execution somewhere
+on peer1:
+  -- Go to peer1, execute foo, remember x
+  x <- foo()
+  
+-- x is available at this point
+  
+on peer2:
+  -- Go to peer2, execute bar, remember y
+  y <- bar()
+
+-- Both x and y are available at this point
+-- Use them in a function
+baz(x, y)        
+```
+
+Let's make this script parallel: execute `foo` and `bar` on different peers in parallel, then use both to compute `baz`.
+
+```text
+-- Start execution somewhere
+on peer1:
+  -- Go to peer1, execute foo, remember x
+  x <- foo()
+  
+-- Notice par on the next line: it means, go to peer2 in parallel with peer1
+  
+par on peer2:
+  -- Go to peer2, execute bar, remember y
+  y <- bar()
+
+-- Remember the contract: either x or y is available at this point
+-- As it's enough to execute just one branch to advance further
+baz(x, y)
+```
+
+What will happen when execution comes to `baz`?
+
+Actually, the script will be executed twice: first time it will be sent from `peer1`, and second time – from `peer2`. Or another way round: `peer2` then `peer1`, we don't know who is faster.
+
+When execution will get to `baz` for the first time, [Aqua VM](../../runtimes/aqua-vm.md) will realize that it lacks some data that is expected to be computed above in the parallel branch. And halt.
+
+After the second branch executes, VM will be woken up again, reach the same piece of code and realize that now it has enough data to proceed.
+
+This way you can express race \(see [Collection types](../types.md#collection-types) and [Conditional return](conditional.md#conditional-return) for other uses of this pattern\):
+
+```text
+-- Initiate a stream to write into it several times
+results: *string
+
+on peer1:
+  results <- foo()
+
+par on peer2:
+  results <- bar()
+
+-- When any result is returned, take the first (the fastest) to proceed
+baz(results!0)

+# Sequential
+
+By default, Aqua code is executed line by line, sequentially.
+
+### Contract
+
+Data from the first arm is available in the second branch.
+
+Second arm is executed iff the first arm succeeded.
+
+If any arm failed, then the whole sequence is failed.
+
+If all arms executed successfully, then the whole sequence is executed successfully.
+
+### Sequential operations
+
+#### call arrow
+
+Any runnable piece of code in Aqua is an arrow from its domain to codomain.
+
+```text
+-- Call a function
+foo()
+
+-- Call a function that returns smth, assign results to a variable
+x <- foo()
+
+-- Call an ability function
+y <- Peer.identify()
+
+-- Pass an argument
+z <- Op.identity(y)
+```
+
+When you write `<-`, this means not just "assign results of the function on the right to variable on the left". It means that all the effects are executed: [service](../abilities-and-services.md) may change state, [topology](../topology.md) may be shifted. But you end up being \(semantically\) on the same peer where you have called the arrow.
+
+#### on
+
+`on` denotes the peer where the code must be executed. `on` is handled sequentially, and the code inside is executed line by line by default.
+
+```text
+func foo():
+  -- Will be executed where `foo` was executed
+  bar()
+  
+  -- Move to another peer
+  on another_peer:
+    -- To call bar, we need to leave the peer where we were and get to another_peer
+    -- It's done automagically
+    bar()
+    
+  on third_peer via relay:
+    -- This is executed on third_peer
+    -- But we denote that to get to third_peer and to leave third_peer
+    -- an additional hop is needed: get to relay, then to peer
+    bar()
+ 
+  -- Will be executed in the `foo` call site again
+  -- To get from the previous `bar`, compiler will add a hop to relay

+With `on` and `on ... via`, significant indentation changes the place where the code will be executed, and paths that are taken when execution flow "bubbles up" \(see the last call of `foo`\).

-* If it is called on an appendable stream, it will wait for some parallel append operation to fulfill, see [Join behavior](operators/parallel.md#join-behavior).

 `!` operator cannot be used with non-literal indices: you can use `!2`, but not `!x`. It's planned to be fixed.
 
 ### Assignments
 
-Assignments do nothing new, just gives a name to a value with applied getter, or name a literal.
