[Pipet Devel] Petri Nets

Carlos referred to "Petri Nets" in his e-mail.  For those not familiar with
Petri Nets (I was not), I found a Web site that gives an overview of Coloured
Petri Nets (CPN), an extension:

Petri Nets date back to the 60's.  They aren't directly applicable (I far as I
can tell) to our bioinformatics-specific communication model.  But they share
many similarities, particularly with the Glyphic Command Language we will use on
the benchtop to represent connected loci, documents, analyses, etc.
