How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T22445177 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: CAM (Categorical Abstract Machine) Context triple: [Landin’s SECD machine, influenced, CAM (Categorical Abstract Machine)]
-
A.
Landin’s SECD machine
Landin’s SECD machine is an early abstract machine for functional programming languages that introduced a systematic model for evaluating expressions using a stack, environment, control, and dump.
-
B.
Scheme: An Interpreter for Extended Lambda Calculus
"Scheme: An Interpreter for Extended Lambda Calculus" is the seminal 1975 technical report by Gerald Jay Sussman and Guy L. Steele Jr. that introduced the Scheme programming language and demonstrated the power of lexical scoping and first-class procedures in a minimalist Lisp dialect.
-
C.
Algol 68R
Algol 68R is a revised, more practical and implementable version of the Algol 68 programming language, created to simplify and clarify the original language’s complex design.
-
D.
Algol 68C
Algol 68C is a compiler implementation of the Algol 68 programming language, designed to translate its advanced structured constructs into executable machine code.
-
E.
The Architecture Machine
The Architecture Machine is a seminal book by Nicholas Negroponte that explores the concept of interactive, computer-based design systems and their implications for architecture and human–machine collaboration.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
