The exec_workflow function can be viewed as a Turing machine, where the results dictionary serves as the tape and the steps in the workflow represent the different operations that are performed on the tape.
The Tape (Results Dictionary)
The results dictionary is the tape of the Turing machine, where values are read and written as the workflow executes. The tape is initialized with a set of values that are used to control the flow of the workflow.
The Operations (Steps)
Each step in the workflow represents a single operation that is performed on the tape. The operations can be one of the following:
- Read a value from the tape (i.e., access a value from the results dictionary)
- Write a value to the tape (i.e., update a value in the results dictionary)
- Perform a computation on a value on the tape (i.e., execute a proc agent that modifies the results dictionary)
The Workflow as a Program
The workflow is like a program that is executed by the Turing machine. The program is composed of a series of steps that are executed in sequence, where each step performs an operation on the tape.
The Execution of the Workflow
The exec_workflow function executes the workflow by iterating through the steps in the workflow and performing the corresponding operations on the tape. The function uses the values on the tape to control the flow of the workflow, and updates the tape as necessary to reflect the results of each operation.
The Halting Condition
The workflow halts when the final step is executed, at which point the final values on the tape (i.e., the results dictionary) are returned as the output of the workflow.
Overall, the exec_workflow function operates like a Turing machine, where the results dictionary serves as the tape and the steps in the workflow represent the different operations that are performed on the tape. The function uses the values on the tape to control the flow of the workflow, and updates the tape as necessary to reflect the results of each operation.
