+#X text 9 73 Pd is designed to be "deterministic". This is a computer
+science term meaning to behave predictibly \, i.e. given a certain
+input \, it will always produce the same output.;
+#X text 9 163 For Pd \, this means that it will always run the program
+in the exact same order everytime. Even if the computer is not fast
+enough to complete all of the operations in realtime \, Pd will then
+cause an interruption while it ties to finish everything before moving
+to the next step.;
