CMP.13:9 - Consequences

The reader obtains a computation over properties, together with the direction in which its answers apply. A false abstract counterexample becomes a constructive guide to a better representation. An already adequate coarse result can end the work.

The result depends on the original semantics and on the abstract operations, evaluation strategy and observation. A sound representation can still yield an answer too imprecise or expensive for use. Some properties remain undecidable or require a different form of reasoning.
