Abstract
A method for synchronizing common values in a distributed system, at least one node of which is a cyclic, rule-based, object-sensitive production system. Values altered in one part of the system are implicity rather than explicitly communicated and processed to and from the rule-based node. All communications to the rule-based node of common values changed by the nonrule-based nodes are by way of a list independent of and concurrently with any procedural request of the rule-based node, there being no necessary relation between the list contents and the procedural request.
