Abstract

Reactive miracles are rather unexplored in Unifying Theories of Programming. We present two simple properties: prefixing a miracle with an event, and offering an external choice between a process and a miracle. Both are strange processes, each violating an important axiom of the standard failures-divergences model for CSP.
