Abstract: The question we consider in this paper is: "When may a combination of (fine-grain) execution
be contracted into an abstract (atomic) action execution"? Our answer is basically: "When no
observer can see the di#erence." This is worked out in detail by defining a notion of so-called
coupled splitting/contracting simulation between systems which di#er in the atomicity of their
actions, and proving that this collapses to Parrow and Sjodin's coupled similarity when the
systems are composed with an... (Update)
