Communication and process creation are two facets of the same operation in Linda.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Linda unifies process creation, inter-process communication and synchronization within tuple-space operations.claim0.851
  Key advantage: the same operations handle all three aspects of parallel coordination.
• Linda is a model of process creation and coordination that is orthogonal to the base language in which it’s embedded.quote0.815
  Load-bearing definition of Linda's relation to the base language.
• In Linda, no separate merge process is needed for multiple client streams.claim0.803
  Linda's tuple space allows many-to-one communication without an extra merger.
• The fact that senders in Linda needn’t know anything about receivers and vice versa is central to the language. It promotes what we call an uncoupled programming style.quote0.798
  Concise statement of Linda's key design philosophy.
• Linda is a simpler, more powerful and more elegant model than any of these four alternatives (message-passing, concurrent objects, logic languages, functional).claim0.784
  The central thesis of the paper, stated explicitly in the introduction.
• The Linda code is insensitive to the number of clients, whereas Parlog requires a merge process that depends on the count.claim0.781
  Demonstrates flexibility advantage.
• The fact that senders in Linda needn't know anything about receivers and vice versa is central to the language.claim0.780
  Claims the uncoupled style is a key advantage.
• If two processes need to communicate, they don't exchange messages or share a variable; instead, the data producing process generates a new data object and sets it adrift in tuple space.concept0.779
  Defines generative communication: the unique mechanism that enables uncoupled programming and persistent data objects.
