Hi Chris Thank you for your message about two processes together sorting a deck of cards. My example was in response to a comment from Steve D'Aprano. He understood in the way it was intended, which was the algorithm is in execution non-deterministic, but that the outcome is deterministic. Steve, in a message after yours, explains this point. And so I won't repeat what would be essentially the same explanation. Once again, I thank you (and Steve) for their contributions. -- Jonathan
