Abstract
The paper investigates a concurrent computation model, chi calculus, in which communications resemble cut eliminations for classical proofs. The algebraic properties of the model are studied. Its relationship to sequential computation is illustrated by showing that it incorporates the operational semantics of the call-by-name lambda calculus. Practically the model has pi calculus as a submodel.
